Community Guidelines

Last updated: October 2026

Airsoft.Bio exists to bring the airsoft world closer together. We want to make it easier for players to connect, share their experiences, discover teams and sites, find businesses, and get more involved in the sport.

These guidelines help keep Airsoft.Bio safe, welcoming and useful for everyone. They apply across Airsoft.Bio spaces, including the platform, our social media groups and channels, and events we host or attend.

Where our guidelines apply alongside another venue's rules, both sets of rules apply. Our guidelines do not replace the rules of a venue or service we use.

Breaking these guidelines may result in content removal, feature restrictions, account suspension or a permanent ban, depending on the circumstances and severity.

The short version

Be respectful. Keep it legal. Contribute positively. Don't spam, harass or put others at risk. If something feels wrong, report it.

1. Content that is never allowed

The following content is prohibited and will be removed. Serious violations may result in immediate account termination or referral to the relevant authorities where appropriate.

Illegal content and serious harm. This includes child sexual abuse material, grooming or sexually targeting minors, credible threats of violence, targeted hate speech, stalking, fraud, content promoting illegal drugs, and content encouraging suicide or self-harm.

Sexual or pornographic content. Airsoft.Bio is not an adult-content platform.

Doxxing and privacy violations. Do not publish another person's private information, such as their address, phone number or workplace, without an appropriate basis or their consent.

Scams and deceptive activity. No phishing, impersonation, fraudulent offers, fake profiles intended to deceive, or other deliberate attempts to exploit users.

Harassment and intimidation. Do not threaten, stalk, bully or deliberately target other users. Repeated unwanted contact, targeted abuse and attempts to intimidate someone are not acceptable.

2. Airsoft content and safety

Airsoft.Bio is a platform for the sport of airsoft. Content featuring replica firearms (RIFs), tactical equipment, loadouts and game-day scenarios is welcome when presented in an appropriate sporting context.

What's welcome:

• Loadout photos, kit showcases and equipment reviews.
• Game-day photos, videos and scenario descriptions.
• Team photos and introductions.
• Skirmish, milsim and other airsoft event content.
• Discussions about equipment, upgrades and builds within legal limits.
• Airsoft-related news, guides, advice and experiences.

What's not allowed:

• Presenting airsoft equipment in a way that constitutes a credible real-world threat or promotes real-world violence.
• Encouraging illegal use, transport or public display of airsoft equipment.
• Promoting modifications intended to convert a RIF to fire live ammunition or otherwise facilitate serious illegal activity.
• Content that encourages unsafe or unlawful behaviour.

Context matters. A photograph of a player carrying a RIF at a skirmish is different from a post threatening someone with what appears to be a real firearm. When sharing realistic equipment or intense game-day imagery, make the sporting context clear.

3. Businesses, products and promotion

Airsoft.Bio is for more than individual players. Airsoft retailers, manufacturers, independent makers, photographers, content creators, sites, event organisers and other relevant businesses are welcome.

We want businesses to have opportunities to showcase their work, introduce themselves, share useful information and connect with people who are interested in what they offer.

Generally welcome:

• Introducing your business and explaining what you do.
• Showcasing products, services, new releases and completed work.
• Sharing product demonstrations, reviews, behind-the-scenes content and relevant updates.
• Announcing events, offers, sponsorships and collaborations.
• Answering questions and participating in relevant discussions.
• Sharing useful information that helps players make informed decisions.

What we may restrict or remove:

• Repeatedly posting the same promotional content or flooding the feed with adverts.
• Posting irrelevant promotions in discussions where they add no value.
• Unsolicited mass messaging or repeatedly contacting users with sales pitches.
• Misleading claims, deceptive offers or promotions that disguise their commercial purpose.
• Using fake engagement, multiple accounts or other manipulative tactics to promote a business.
• Advertising listings for the sale of RIFs or other goods through features that do not support marketplace transactions.

A note on promotion: Not every post that promotes a business is spam. We consider the relevance, frequency, context and manner of posting. We want businesses to participate naturally in the platform, not feel that every mention of their work is prohibited.

Business participation does not guarantee reach, visibility or a particular level of promotion from Airsoft.Bio. We may introduce dedicated business features or additional promotional rules as the platform develops.

Marketplace and sales

Airsoft.Bio does not currently provide a dedicated marketplace for buying and selling goods. Users must not treat profiles, the feed or other features as a substitute for marketplace functionality where sales listings are prohibited.

We may introduce specific marketplace rules if and when those features become available.

4. Respectful behaviour and personal disagreements

Airsoft brings together people with different backgrounds, opinions and experiences. Disagreements happen, but everyone should be able to participate without being targeted or intimidated.

We expect users to:

• Treat other users respectfully, even when they disagree.
• Criticise ideas, products or public statements without resorting to personal abuse.
• Respect requests to stop contacting someone.
• Avoid bringing personal disputes into unrelated discussions.
• Report concerns through the platform rather than encouraging others to target an individual.

Personal disputes outside Airsoft.Bio

Disagreements, criticism or allegations involving a user on another website or social media platform do not automatically constitute a breach of Airsoft.Bio's guidelines.

We assess reported behaviour based on the available evidence and the rules applicable to the situation. Conduct outside Airsoft.Bio may be relevant where it involves credible threats, harassment, illegal activity or behaviour that falls within the scope of these guidelines, but we do not restrict users simply because another person dislikes them or disagrees with their activities elsewhere.

The same standards apply to everyone, regardless of their personal relationships, business interests or standing within airsoft.

5. Direct messages

Direct messages are intended to help users connect.

• Do not send threats, abusive messages or unwanted sexual content.
• If someone asks you to stop messaging them, stop.
• If someone blocks you, respect that decision.
• Do not use DMs for spam, scams or unsolicited mass advertising.

New accounts may have temporary limits on how many new conversations they can start per day as a safety measure.

6. Reporting and moderation

If you see content or behaviour that you believe breaches these guidelines, please report it.

You can report profiles, images, direct messages, team pages and feed content using the available reporting tools. You do not need to be certain that something is illegal to report a concern.

We aim to review reports within 48 hours. This is a target rather than a guarantee, and complex or urgent cases may require additional time.

When we take action following a report, we will not identify the reporter to the person being reported, subject to any applicable legal obligations.

Reporting should be used responsibly. Deliberately submitting false or abusive reports, or repeatedly reporting someone to intimidate or target them, may itself breach these guidelines.

We may consider the surrounding context, available evidence, the severity of the alleged behaviour and any relevant history when reviewing a report.

7. What happens when guidelines are breached?

We respond proportionately to the circumstances. Depending on the nature, severity and frequency of a breach, action may include:

• Minor or first-time breaches: Advice, a warning or removal of the relevant content.
• Repeated or moderate breaches: Temporary restrictions on posting, messaging or other features.
• Serious breaches: Immediate suspension or permanent account termination where appropriate.
• Credible threats or serious illegal activity: Urgent action and, where appropriate, referral to relevant authorities.

We may take action without a prior warning where the circumstances justify it. We also reserve the right to take proportionate action against behaviour that clearly undermines the safety or integrity of the platform.

Where appropriate, users can contact us to ask for clarification about a moderation decision.

8. Your safety tools

You can help manage your experience on Airsoft.Bio by using the available safety features:

• Block: Limit unwanted interactions with another user.
• Report: Flag content or behaviour for review.
• Profile privacy: Control who can see your profile through the available settings.

Please use these tools whenever you need them.

9. Questions and feedback

If you have questions about these guidelines, need clarification about a moderation decision, or want to suggest an improvement, contact us at hello@airsoft.bio.

These guidelines will evolve as Airsoft.Bio grows. We may update them to reflect new features, emerging risks and the needs of the people using the platform. We will notify users of significant changes where appropriate.
