  2. The following rules/guidelines are in place for the orderly conduct on the BST Forums. Violations of any of these rules may lead to topic deletion without prior notification or warning.

    Violators could lose access to the EE section if these rules are not followed. A warning may not be given for violations before access is cut off. Arguing about a rule or violation with a moderator will not be tolerated. Please email an admin with any issues that are of major concern. Remember however, these are the board rules which the Mods are enforcing, they have no control over them.

    If you do not agree with any of these rules, don't post.

    If you see a rule being violated, please use the report feature (click on the "!" button in the post that is violating the rule).


    1. Email Addresses of Buyers/Sellers/Traders: Users of this forum must have their forum profile set up to allow emails. This is for possible buyers to contact the seller.


    2. Price: Post the price you want for the merchandise you are selling. If you are offering a trade post a trade value. This board is not for auctions, so don't make people start at a lower price and work their way up. We also recommend posting pictures in the thread, but this is your choice. (You will have to use a 3rd party image host)


    3. No Bashing: Do not comment on someone’s post about price or condition. Just scroll on by and let it go, don't bash their thread or products.

    4. Laws and Regulations: It is the buyer and seller's responsibility to make sure they are abiding local and federal laws when buying and selling products. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of FFLs for out of state guns sales as well as certain firearm restrictions in some states. It is on both the buyer and seller to make sure they are acting within all laws, TNSHOOTERSNETWORK is neither responsible nor liable for any transactions!


    5. Buyer or Seller Problems: If a buyer or seller is late with mailing a product or payment or you are having difficulties, do not post a topic about it. PM a moderator or admin about the issue and try contacting the seller.
