Discord.

[Jigme is a Fox]

Just wondering, why doesn't MCM have a discord?
I personally believe that it would be amazing. I've though of a couple points to support myself (and others) and things you might see as a problem.
1) Opens so many opportunities (Good) - If you did have one, more people will actually be able to access it, meaning the Discord community will hear about it and more people will join, benefiting MCM and others. Win win for everyone.
2) Allows scammers to scam (Problem) - I find this point confusing. Firstly, you could just make sure people who've been suspected or banned of scamming to not allow that, secondly, there's a feature you can use that makes sure people have to read the rules - it's a 10 min wait before you can't do anything but read them - meaning people have to read the rules if you make a rank that limits it to a rule channel.
3) Giveaways (Good) - I know this seems dumb, but it would actually be quite helpful for alot of us. I know there is begging forums, but this is different, for the people who aren't as rich or as successful as others, it could be beneficial for us (that's me), not only does it make MCM more popular, but it helps both of us.

Mick has said there will never be a discord as long as he owns the site xd[DOUBLEPOST=1515160379][/DOUBLEPOST]maybe a ts though

Let's just say that this time last year there was an unofficial discord server for MCM for a while, because the site was down a lot due to transfers. I'm not sure exactly how long it lasted, but i think it was dead before spring had properly begun.

1) Opens so many opportunities (Good) - If you want to find a discord community, what do you use? Google. You find out about discords THROUGH websites or word of mouth, and then you join them. Any advertising we do off-site should obviously be about our website, not a discord. Everyone has a browser, not everyone has a discord. All of our main functionality is on the website, and it always will be.
All this to say, anyone who found out about our discord would have found our website already. Meaning there would be no increase in the people willing and able to spread MCM via word of mouth than if we were just a website, and in total there would be no relevant increase in people finding out about MC-Market than we would have without one.
The benefit you listed in this "opens so many opportunities" point is incorrect.

2) Allows scammers to scam (Problem) - There are addons we could purchase to link accounts, and require they have an account on site; so this problem isn't even a major issue.

3) Giveaways (Good) - What?
I think you're assuming something about how an MCM discord would be used that you shouldn't be assuming.


Not a single one of your points is correct; not even the con.
In the future, please look into the topics you are thinking about suggesting. Had you done that, you may have even found the 7+ other already denied threads on the subject.

So a discord for MCM will never be considered?

 

[Ted]

Yup

 

[Ted]

No point in Having one

Its already been considered, Mick and some of the other staff too decided against adding it. Which is probably the right choice. A discord isn't really needed.

nevr disagreed with one of ur posts :v

Isn't there an unofficial MCM discord that was started by some members of the community?

father has returneth

also please don't add an mcm discord. a friend already showed me you can hack discords easily now and we don't need chaos roaming in a giant discord full of cucks

 

[rekt]

"hack"? That's broad. You didn't actually label what you could do.

from what I saw he went in a call with them and had their passwords and emails from sharing a photo or something

just saying, chaos can form from pointless discords. if we need one just have a popular player make one

Mick has said he will never add a discord as long as he owns the site but he may add a Teamspeak.
The unofficial one didn't last very long I believe. And I think there was a different one that broke a rule and was shut down or something like that.

For point one Discord can be used on web browser, two was a resolution that you could use and 3 was a bad point.[DOUBLEPOST=1515446309][/DOUBLEPOST]
