Allow the MC section to be VIEWED (not used)

[User]

There's 5+ years of information on account discovery, history, scamming, and much more in there that's now been completely hidden from the public. Although I'm well aware that MC account trading will never be returned to the site, allowing previous posts to at least be viewed (similar to past sections that have been disabled, like Member Tutorials) would be greatly helpful.

I think theres a few issues with this that would arise although I completel agree with you the account section was probably one of the most interesting parts of the forum. With many funny attempts to sell at 10x markup and also scams. MC Account selling was one of the main parts of MC-Market and I don't think should just be forgotten.

The issues I'm on about is I'm assuming Mojang/Microsoft contacted Mick and thats why there was these big changes such as how they brand themselves and the changes on mc account sales. I'm assuming they removed other account sales to either stay in the safe or to go with consistency. So if they make the account section viewable the people who contacted him before on the issues may contact him again not realising its only viewable.

The other issue I think would be is people contacting the people who were selling accounts and buying them without the account section although I think mcm would see this as an issue I think if the users are doing it off-platform and just found who has what account on-platform they shouldn't get involved.

True, but the appraisals section was cleared in the same way and now has unmoderated public posts about MC accounts that can easily be viewed by Mojang. Also, I'm sure MCM staff could just regex any text containing "#xxxx" out of posts in that section to prevent account contact, if they absolutely must.

I 100% agree with User. The Minecraft account section was a huge piece of mcm history and in my opinion, was got it started. Just remove the ability to see users discord from it and disallow DMS about it.
