Banning the Sale of Minecraft Accounts

[Lotus]

Hey all,

Recently, MCM made a good step in the right direction by enforcing strict policies against resource leakers and those affiliated. However, in the eyes of many, it was a half-baked effort knowing that this site thrives on the Minecraft TOS violating sales of accounts (and the other range of TOS violating services this website facilitates). I wish to see the removal of accounts as a step towards making this marketplace a platform that actually cares about ethics.

Why would we want to ban the sale of accounts?

1. Legitimize the marketplace. The site hypocritically enforces Rule 5.4 by striking down those who violate product ownership rights heavily, yet turns a blind eye to the sale of Minecraft Accounts which violates Mojang’s TOS. Choose one or the other. Remove 5.4 and commit to being a black market, or equally enforce your own rules across all sections of the forum. Being inconsistent and half-assed only annoys the community even more.
   
   
2. Get rid of our most toxic and notorious members. The accounts market is saturated, comprising of crackers stealing accounts, returning ban evaders and is also the section holding the most linked scam reports often closing due to inconclusive evidence.
   
   
3. The site no longer needs to allocate resources to develop features and moderate the section. "Opportunity cost"
   
   
4. MC-Market will not die. By considering points 1 and 3, MCM can become an even better place for everyone and expand into even more markets. There are far more and far better opportunities out there.

Fun reads :

• https://www.mc-market.org/threads/81435/ (60% agreed)
• https://www.mc-market.org/threads/85005/ Announcement in the past for the removal of accounts.

The site doesn’t need to be plagued by accounts anymore. This site has a bigger future for itself by legitimizing itself into a community that leads others. Honestly, I shouldn't even need to be trying to convince everyone by explaining all the benefits of removing the section. This should not have been even allowed on this site in the first place.

no social media website allows u to sell accs / usernames

what would u know, you're not a graphics designer staff member?

mcm staff r always correct.

Saying that you want to make the site more legitimate is
good in itself, but in this case you should not only remove the Minecraft account section but all the others like Instagram, Twitter, Fortnite...
Without sale, mc-market will no longer be.
But I’m not saying the site will die, I’m saying it’s hard to keep your reputation and give up your responsibilities.

So, if this suggestion is accepted then I think many members will leave the forum (including me) or make a final exit scam.
And I don’t like the current staff at all because the majority are ignorant but I'm just sharing my opinion.
That’s all.

Night and Verringer will be looking down upon you saying "fucking idiot" right now. jesus fucking christ this is the most stupid thing i've ever read, do this and a good chunk of people in the og section are probably gonna exit scam, this is an inevitable domino that will be favored heavily in staff bias to be accepted despite a 50/50 agree/disagree ratio. fuck you and fuck this site if this is implemented

Thank god you and your shit attitude will be the first gone if this is accepted. Why do you like to do things that are violating the terms of service to the company based around the whole marketplace?

Become legitimate: more room to grow

Keep operating while infested with scamming, hacking, and overall just scum behavior: no room to grow.

Not only that, eliminating account selling will lower number of scammers in areas like loans.

Seems like you’re the toxic one ngl

Since when banning the sale of accounts makes a MARKETPLACE bigger? this legit makes no sense. The traffic due to OGs/Cape Accs is bigger than all of the other sections together,

How are these related?[DOUBLEPOST=1572629294]

This is funny because u do BTC transfers with paypal

Okay well first, I don’t think that’s true at all. They are completely related as when I used to loan, a good percentage of scammers I had encountered dealt with account selling/buying/trading or whatever.
And how is that illegitimate?

I agree, remove the account section.

I agree lets remove the development section cause server owners get loans and scam scam so they are related!

Will make it even easier to scam out more

Ok, if you want to remove then give back all the members back their money as we bought Premium just to be able to sell accounts.

Lotus I love seeing the chaos unravel as the staff of MC-Market betray their own community

To me, removing the Minecraft account's forums would be equivalent to Taco Bell removing tacos due to tacos giving people diarrhea & them wanting to branch out more. Sure, they'd still have some good stuff (like how MCM would have some good sections left) and some people would still go there, (like how some people would still use MCM) but most people would leave and go to a competitor who also sells tacos. (Or would go to a competitor to buy Minecraft accounts)

It's a horrible move business-wise and is stupid if you have any sort of common sense, enough said.
