Hello everyone, and welcome back to MCM Weekly. I'm your host, User. It has been nearly 2 months now since I took a temporary leave from MCM Weekly, selling, appraising, and generally everything else related to MCM. However, school has started back up and I will be as active as before.
This week, we have several HUGE announcements from the staff team of MC-Market, as well as a few unfortunate bans. Let's begin!

After a 4-year wait, MCM has finally added a new rank to the site! This rank, purchasable from the store, has been named Ultimate. This temporary rank upgrade comes with many new perks, notably automatic thread bumping, an increased daily reputation limit, new BBcode permissions, thread/resource cover banners, 2 letter usernames, an exclusive teal name color + access to all $5 name colors, the U prefix in shoutbox, and the ability to disable reactions on threadsMCM also has said they plan to add vanity/custom URLs and access to an official API for Ultimate users, so stay tuned!
New temporary "Ultimate" rank, with many features now and many to come.
Last month brought 5 more moderators to the team, being Harry, Kuchy, roy, Aelin, and Ellie. This month has brought another 3 new moderators, as well as the promotion of 6, the partial resignation of 1, the return of 1, and the unfortunate demotion of 3.
Tofty is a member from England, mainly focusing in the areas of design, advertising, and selling domains and servers. He was promoted to chat moderator on August 1st along with Kiri, a Minecraft account/server/plugin enthusiast, and Scrooby, who focuses on domains and non-Minecraft video games.
Capaldi has been re-promoted to scam resolver and moderator following her resignation back in late June due to issues in real life. Alongside her, Aelin, Ellie, and Kuchy have all been promoted to feedback moderators, Majored has been promoted to resource moderator, and Energy and Harrison have been promoted to general moderators.
Unfortunately, there has also been a partial resignation of Lotus, to focus on moderation as opposed to any scam resolving, and the complete demotion of thebaum64, Luxus, and @utaninja. All of these demotions were confirmed by utaninja to be a result of inactivity.

The month of July was dedicated to raising money for the US-based AbleGamers charity, helping disabled video game enthusiasts around the world to enjoy their favorite pastime. The results are in, and the site raised $10,507.97 for the charity. 7 users donated $200, 20 users donated between $75, and a whopping 125 users donated $25. Additionally, the fundraiser forums raised $1,535.47, and Mick himself donated $3,125, following his pledge to match all $25 donations. All in all, this is a total of 153 donations, plus the $1,535.47 from the fundraiser. This is the most MCM has ever raised within a month. Congratulations!
150+ users raised over $10,500 for the AbleGamers charity!
Over this past week, 4 different members were permanently banned. This would be otffallen and br1anna/song for a TOS violation, Deleted User 3577 for admitting to scamming (although she's been active for quite a while), and Oof for scamming out over a $20 "Ikonik" method. Not much is known about Karly's ban, but it is both possible and likely that the ban on otffallen was in relation to heavy toxicity and profanity in his recent posts.
According to the community, it appears that br1anna/song was banned for admitting to jacking an Instagram account.

Karly and Oof scammed, otffallen broke TOS, and br1anna admitted to jacking.
Recently, the MC-Market team announced 3 different milestones they hit within the past week. Not only is it the 5th anniversary of the creation of MC-Market, but we recently reached a total of 500,000 threads and 4,000,000 posts on the site (which also means that each thread, on average, has 7 replies.) Doing some digging of my own, I also found that we reached 175,000 registered members recently. As a result of all these milestones, the staff at MCM are hosting a 33% off sale for account upgrades and Ad Manager purchases. Good job, MCM!
MCM's 5th anniversary, 500k threads, 4m posts, 175k members.
Fold, Yeah, Box, u9, Sure, Facebook (now owned by a banned user), Twitter (now owned by a banned user), Used (now sold), Volt (now owned by a banned user), Half, Cobra (now owned by a banned user), Comic, type, bytes, and ribs (now owned by a banned user).
