Forum Rules
Be Respectful
Treat every member with respect. No personal attacks, harassment, hate speech, or discriminatory language. Disagree with ideas, not people.
Stay On Topic
Post in the appropriate room. Keep discussions relevant to billiards and the community. Off-topic posts may be moved or removed.
No Spam or Self-Promotion
Don't flood the forum with repetitive posts, unsolicited advertisements, or affiliate links. Dealers and manufacturers should contact us about advertising partnerships.
Original Content
Don't copy content from other sources without attribution. Share your own experiences, photos, and opinions.
No NSFW Content
Keep all content appropriate for a general audience. This includes text, images, profile pictures, and usernames.
One Account Per Person
Multiple accounts (sockpuppets) are not allowed. If you need to change your username, contact support.
Listing Guidelines
Honest Descriptions
Accurately describe the condition of items. Disclose all defects, repairs, and modifications. Include clear, well-lit photos from multiple angles.
Fair Pricing
Price items fairly. Extreme price gouging or bait-and-switch tactics will result in listing removal and potential account suspension.
Honor Your Deals
Once a deal is agreed upon, follow through. Backing out of confirmed sales or purchases damages trust and may affect your reputation score.
No Stolen or Counterfeit Goods
Selling stolen property or counterfeit items is strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate permanent ban and report to authorities.
Ship Promptly
Ship items within the timeframe stated in your listing. Provide tracking information to the buyer. Package items securely to prevent damage.
Dispute Resolution
If a dispute arises, attempt to resolve it directly with the other party first. If that fails, contact our moderation team for assistance.
