One of the best ways to reduce impersonator scams would be if everyone set their Discord in their contact info and everyone checked the contact info onsite/PM confirmed of a user before making a deal with them. Yet, many people don't seem to do this. Instead of putting a user's Discord at the bottom of one of the many tabs on their profile where it is hard to find, it should be more visible. One way to do this would be to give everyone a small Discord badge that when hovered over shows the user's Discord.
This seems like a no-brainer as it will reduce scams and has no drawbacks - let me know what you guys think.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

most people who get scammed by impersonators don't even look for the discord onsite at all

would be worth a try tho
That's mostly because it's hidden in the profile, having it on the post badge thing or when you click on someone's name would definitely help imo

People on Discord can have your Discord username with the same discriminator through a few different methods. Comparing Discord usernames and discriminators by just your eyes isn't enough. You can still be scammed.

Just contact the seller/service provider on site.

Not too hard.

signature
i agree 100% with signature's being used. but there's a space by minecraft accounts where could be used for socials. that would be amazing. if they implemented something like this easier to contact buyers/sellers, but than again signatures could also be used so im kinda 50/50. if someone doesnt have a signature with their discord you can also message them on site and have them send their discord.

Making this change would not reduce impersonation, and simply would increase clutter for very little benefit.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
