So, we all know there is an occasional problem with impersonators on Skype. Once the toggle is completed, I think all users should be able to use live PMs so that Skype can be eliminated. This would prevent faked logs, and prevent impersonators.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Alright. I'll refer back to a Scam Report I read against Sloth. It was an imposter on Skype. Case closed, no action taken. Guess what? The scammer got away. Any reputable and legitimate seller/buyer should be fine completing deals via PM. They're both protected should something happen. You can't fake a PM. Now, if nobody is using Skype, the only people possibly trying to deal would be scammers.
Maybe if the person who got scammed sent over a PM, none of it would have happened. User fault, not MCM's fault.

People will still use Skype, no matter what we do. People always think they won't get scammed.

Exactly. User's fault. They should have been more careful. Hence why I would say that you add a dismissable List Notice warning people to do deals via PM.

Nothing happened because it was an impersonator, unless someone has a lead to determine who that impersonator is what do you want them to do?..

I want the MCM staff to do something about it. This would eliminate impersonators so long as the user can comprehend basic English.

They have a non dismissable notice saying no account selling and people ignore it. People post threads asking about it and all the time people are just realizing that you can't sell accounts. That's barely going to help

Rarely ever do I see that happening. Any legit seller should be using PM anyways. It's not our business if someone is scammed outside of MCM.

Again, you're letting a scammer on the website which is no good.

But again, people are still going to add people on skype and scams will still happen. Saying that the scam shouldn't be supported is absurd if it can be found out who the impersonator is. When it can't be found out, then it'll just be closed as it is now. I don't see what this will fix

I'm gone agree with Bebosny it's like saying on servers give acces to special kits to everyone! Would it improve the gameplay ? => yes it's more fair but then why the hell would people buy supreme then? MCM can use the money :)

I would like to have this but I need to disagree. If this is added the site will get really slow because it will send and receive many request. I think the database and xenforo doesn't like that too.
