"Looking for" In account Page

[Vented]

Hi! I was look at MCM and i really want a type of account so i typed it in general disscussion.

I was thinking this idea will be good for organization sake & for more reason to buy premium.

For you to have a "Looking for"
In accounts page.

This will be great for people like me to buy accounts for Mc & also for otther types of accounts. Such as.. Youtube, Snapchat, Insta etc.

Apparently, this isn’t something we really need and would be a useless forum. (Said by Mick in the last suggestion about this https://www.mc-market.org/threads/119108/)

However I the reason I wouldn’t add this would be the chance of scamming. MC accounts are sold in threads, where the user has to link it to their account to prove they do indeed have access to that account. However if this was to be added, someone could see a request and just PM them to sell them it, bypassing that protection that was put in place. Or an impersonator could contact them via a different mean (Skype, Discord etc).

Yes, everyone should verify they are talking to the real person, but in practice, very few people do. As for proving they own the account, most of the “evidence” a scammer could provide, could be inspect elemental, or by using an offline server to screenshot themselves, with that name.

Could add a rule to make people link the account before they are allowed to PM someone about selling it. However it would be hard to enforce, since not many will pay too much attention to it.

May be of some use for YouTube and other account types, since they don't have that added protection to begin with. But if I have a YouTube to sell, I'd make a thread to sell it, not wait for someone to request buying one. I can sell lots of buyers wanting this, but i'm not sure if there would be the sellers to make this work.

Could be the risk taken, They want organized forms then why is general discussion always fulled with looking for accounts. This would just sort it out. Most people link their semi & ogs to their account in the first place. This would add more revenue to the website as well. as it is another benefit of getting premium. Adding this would be nice as well. Youtubers don't want to sell their accounts publicly as it will shake the experience of their fans.

Thanks for the hard long comment

That's a great point. Thanks Fire.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
