Ban Discords/Skypes from MCM

[Hannes]

It's 2018, if you fall for impersonators it's really just natural selection at that point.[DOUBLEPOST=1527105011][/DOUBLEPOST]

If people are getting scammed by an impersonator its their issue.
80% of the users have clearly told about their official accounts and such.

Banning discord will get bring an assault in the community.

People left Skype due to

1. It didn't had Groups
2. No ranks
3. No good stuff.

It did have groups though.

Banning people from listing their actual skypes and/or discords would do the EXACT opposite of what you think.
the method you described can be easily counteracted by checking the actual discord or skype names/IDs of the users you're interacting with.
If Seller A contacts Buyer A and tells him they're Seller B, Buyer A would then send a message to Seller B to confirm. If Seller A then contacts Seller B and claims to be either Buyer A and having sent a message or Buyer B (random third party) and asks to message Buyer A a confirmation, as I believe you describe, then it could THEORETICALLY work in Seller A(Aka the scammer)'s favor.
However, if the other people involved check either the content of the message or the actual skype/discord IDs of the person they believe they're contacting, it will quickly become apparent something's not right.
Banning people from having their discord would take away a method to prevent impersonation, thus increasing the chance of successful impersonation scams instead of decreasing them.

How do you not understand that..

Oh no I fully understand what you were trying to say. Its just idiotic. Thanks for the suggestion anyways, clearly not going to be implemented. Don't take the hate too harshly, its directed at your idea, not you.
