Sticky this in the membership section.

I'm an active pin seller and I am often asked what '6 month' and '3 minute' pins are, so I'm just requesting this sticky to be made in the Buying and Selling section of the membership forums:

Thanks, all suggestions/revisions will be considered.

 

Aussie PBP pins can give 28 - 36 days.

I think that this site itself wants nothing to do with pinlines, and if you explain what they are in a sticky, it might spark interest on where you obtain them, how you use, etc.

 

I suggest you read the rules.

You cannot sell ******** pins. Doing so will earn a ban.

 

Sin, it's a pretty well known fact that most, if not all, pin sellers that have Aus PBP pins obtained those pins from pinlines.

 

This^

Almost every single Australian PBP pin has come from a ********.

 

I use USA SMS pins. They are legit 6 month. Sometimes they give 24 or 25 days though. Idk why.. :/

BTW it should be against the rules to sell aus pbp pis. The vast majority of them are illegally obtained.

 

That's nice. We still don't allow it, and if you have proof that these sellers are using said methods, they will receive bans.

It is against the rules to use any ********. Unless you're using your own phone line or have permission to place the charges to someone else's phone, the pin is considered to be illegally obtained and cannot be sold here. At least as ********s have been described to me, I don't see how any of them could be considered 'legit'.

 

Or they're Australian, either way.

But prove that they're doing it and they'll get a ban.

 

Haha, I think it's like this :

If you "steal" something, say an ipod, and you sell it, would you consider that legal to happen on sythe?

Pinline pins are like "stolen" pins and you shouldn't be able to sell "stolen" goods here...

 

1. I used to have a pinshop.
2. I get my own pins my own way atm, I don't use a pinline.
3. No.

EDIT: get on msn and we'll talk it out there, I don't want to spam up this thread.

 

Syed just agreed with that statment and all of his pins are aussie pbp.

I'm pretty sure that 95% if not more of all pins sold on sythe are obtained via a pinline. I mean... surely, nobody would charge $10 to their cellphone and sell those pins online for $3.50, would they?

 

Yes, and that's entirely because they all come from ********s (including the ones you sell in your own shop). I personally don't see a problem with it, and don't really care if the pins I buy are from ********s, or not.

 

This is not a debate over whether ******** pins should be allowed or not. As the rules are, any illegal/stolen item (pins included) cannot be sold here. Thus, unless Sythe decides to make an exception, any reports about ******** pins will be dealt with as per the existing rules.

Since there is therefore no point in a sticky distinguishing one disallowed pin type from another, this suggestion is closed.
