I'm still fairly new here myself but i enjoy scouting around for deals. Honestly didn't think i would stick around long as people are twats and will often scam you on sites such as these. But the scam report section gave me the confidence to stick around and i gave the site a go with small purchases here and there.
The community as a whole are nice people, but often i see threads with people being down right nasty or rude and just trashing for the sack of it, and i can tell you from experience of being a mod myself on a hugely popular gaming forum that a toxic community is not a good thing, it can drive off new growth. I feel this is where MCM is lacking somewhat. Mods could do with policing a bit more in my opinion. In no way am i saying mods are not doing their job, i'm sure they are. There is however always room for improvement in anything that we do.
Not a big issue as most of the time i'm smart enough to notice that something is fishy, and other users to tend to get there quickly and notice it as well. The issue that i see quite often is new players join MCM and post ads for their youtube channel that is obviously boosted. This is put simply, a scam and should not be allowed for a number of obvious reasons. I just don't understand why these threads are not being shut down and the users banned?.
The rep system i feel is not being used to it's fullest potential. I believe there was a change a few times to this already, and i myself like the way the rep system works as a whole. But there should be more focus on it. Namely under the avatar beside the post cost on threads. Currently you only see someone's rep when in a convo or by going to their rep page. Another issue, is that it takes 3 whole months for new users to leave someone a rep, even if a deal was done and the buyer/seller left you a rep, you are unable to leave them one back. This is not stated anywhere either, i had to ask staff why i was unable to leave rep, as i was getting an error message and not "your account must be 3 months old before you can leave rep".
Lastly please explain somewhere on the forum, either on OG/Semi OG forums what the heck OG means. I myself had to search a number of times before understanding it somewhat. Even now i don't understand it fully, like what people consider OG. Is it views on namemc, certain names, short names, long names, places, and so on. The wiki was not very helpful to me. This would be useful for new players that join MCM who don't know what it means. Same thing applies to "snipers".
+ Good community
+ Friendly Staff
+ Anti Scam
+ Great for deals
+ Vouches
+ Great modern theme
- Rep System underused
- Could be more user friendly on common terms
- Boosted Youtuber scams
- Often there are some toxic threads around
- Sigs are often annoying. People who have 10 billion images in them.
Other than these overall minor issues, MCM i find is an awesome forum to be on and most likely will buy premium fairly soon. I hope you find my feedback useful. Thanks for an awesome site
