Avsterbone Banned?!?!
by Renovix
by Renovix
Recently, an influential community member of MC-Market was temporarily banned. He is known in the community for his generosity as well as his "role" as a community advocate. Recently, he was involved in a fight with the scam resolver M6Gaming. He was barred from offering loan services and was no longer allowed to bail users out of scam reports. Soon after this, he directed some very rude comments towards BeBosny and his girlfriend. His ban seemed to have happened due to exceeding the set amount of warning points for a ban.
We do not conclusively know why avsterbone was banned from the forums, but we do know how he reacted. For a short period of time, a video was up on his YouTube channel which called out MC-Market's owner, BeBosny. This video was a spin-off of a live-stream in which famous YouTuber "Keemstar" began to make offensive comments towards an abusive viewer of his. avsterbone placed BeBosny's avatar & said BeBosny's username before every derogatory term in the video. This video is no longer on avsterbone's channel.

The Elai Scandal: A Quick Look
by Dez
As soon as I met Elai, I knew he was a bad person to be with - so I decided to call StaffX (his staff team). Then, he invited me to join. I said sure. Let the exposure begin.
He claimed he had to check with the senior staff, or I could pay him a small fee of $5. I payed it without thinking, and all was good for two days, however it wasn’t long before things went downhill. First, he threatens me in the shoutbox for a poll I made.
Basically he decides to attempt a scam on me by firing me, after I paid him $5 to join. He then threatens me with his so-called “legal team” if I get him banned/file a scam report on him. He had no right to kick me out only TWO DAYS after I joined, considering I paid to join. You can read the scam report, which I had every right to file, here. In the end, after countless replies, he gave the $5 back to me.

Lorelai1115 Scam Report - Errota:
The most influential and intense scam report of the week definitely would be the one between Lorelai1115 and Errota. It was quite surprising considering that Errota was known for owning a very reputable and well-known hosting company, Host-Atom. The argument was initiated when Lorelai1115 chargebacked on a server, claiming that it had multiple errors. Errota decided to open a scam report.
The scam report was fairly long, weighing in at just over two pages. A lot was discussed in this report. Lorelai1115’s main argument was that Host-Atom were not responding to support tickets, and that they were unreachable elsewhere (PMs, skype etc). Several other users spoke out against Host-Atom in the report, claiming that they had network issues, and lousy support. The scam report was ultimately closed as M6Gaming declared the issue ‘no longer at the consent of MC-Market.’ This scam report was chosen for this week as I found it very interesting because it was fairly difficult to choose who was in the right and who wasn’t.

I was fortunate enough to interview Ajdin the day after he purchased MCM. I asked him several questions pertaining to the future of MCM and his goals.
Zach: Why did you buy MC-Market?
BeBosny: I've always loved MC-Market and the community behind it, it's been quite a big part of my life businesswise. Things weren't going that well lately and I decided to attempt to buy it.
Z: We’ve talked before, and you said that you’ve offered to buy the site from Mick before but he previously declined. Why do you think he sold it this time?
BB: I've offered to buy the site back in August from the previous owner and we went pretty far into the deal until he decided to keep me under him.
As for Mick: I did offer to buy the website from him a while back but he was confident that things would go uphill again. He didn't even want to hear any offers! So that was his reason for initially not willing to sell the site.
Z: Do you feel like this will be a worthy investment for you?
BB: Yes. I have decided to approach MC-Market as a part time job. I must admit, it's a very fun one.
Z: Now looking into the future, what are your main goals for MCM?
BB: That's a very difficult question. I have a lot of ideas and concepts for the forum which could change the eventual outcome, however I won't disclose those just yet!
Z: Mick may be the richest 15 year old in the world after selling the site, but do you think he’ll regret doing it?
BB: I personally don't think he'll regret it.
Main reason being because the site was doing more bad than good to him.
I honestly think he'd make a great owner if he dedicated enough time and effort to the site.
He's a very intelligent person for his age. I'll give him that.
Z: I’ve seen you say things like, “this is just a block game forum“, and that it should not be taken seriously. What has made you change your mind so fast?
BB: After all, MC-Market is still a marketplace however I think some people are forgetting the 'MC' part of it. Minecraft has a very young member base and you should keep that in your mind when you're on a forum like this one. Some changes and rule additions could be amazing on other forums but terrible on this one. MC-Market is a forum that's one of it's kind and every change requires heavy discussion and consideration.
Z: Last, but certainly not least, how do you see MCM in 1-2 years from now?
BB: Minecon 2018 booth offering cheap unmigrated accounts.
On a serious note, I see it brighter than it is now to say the least.
One of my ideas and concepts include expanding the forum in different ways, I'm curious how far that'll go.
