Add a “Trading” section onto MCM.

[Blaze.]

So, I got this idea by asking multiple people offsite (people on @Chearful’s discord’s PMs) about where I would want to post an offer of wanting to trade something. Out of all the people I’ve asked, none of them had any idea where to post this offer, so I thought, “Why not make a suggestion for it.”

The format for this could possibly be something along the lines of, “Have: (something) Want: Something”, like how multiple people use it on the Currency Transfer section.

This feature could eliminate the constant spam of people saying, “would you trade this for my Fortnite Account?” that I’ve seen on multiple threads. Instead, they could come to this section and say what they have and what they want.

The pros of this would be:
Adds a new feature to MCM
Could reduce people asking the same trade offer on multiple threads.

Many more pros, but it’s late at night and I’m on my phone so I can’t think of them.

Yeah but then you might end up needing to add sub sections as well for parts of the trades otherwise people may have difficulty finding what they're looking for, and it'd end up being spammy.

Can’t you search up key words with the search bar?

At the moment, there isn’t a place to offer accounts to trade, which is why I think this would be a good addition.[DOUBLEPOST=1560152070][/DOUBLEPOST]You could have something like this:
Trading
Minecraft
Fortnite
Other

The pros for this outweigh the cons, it would all depend on how they’d (MCM) do it though.

We don’t need anymore people like this.

I know with Minecraft accounts that users will specify on the post that they are willing to make a trade for certain items. Is this really necessary if people are already doing that and can use the search bar to find specific details?

Apart from the 1000 shitty fortnite accs people try to trade

This could be used for people who want to trade CS skins for accounts, Fortnite accounts for accounts, hell even IRL stuff for accounts, this could be very useful.

Currency exchange seems just like this but people seem to manage. Overall, trading seems like a good idea, but the implementation seems difficult. Not impossible, just difficult.

If you are trading something, that is still a regular transaction and I don't see why we would specifically create a new forum for it to happen in. We will be adding in a new filtering system soon, and when we do it might be a good idea to make 'Offering' 'Requesting' and 'Trading' filters for it, but we'll see.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
