Official MC-Market Discord

[User]

People are constantly getting impersonated left and right, most often on Discord. We could make an official MCM discord, a confirmation system could be set up to link a Discord user to an MCM account (giving them a "Verified" tag). If an MCM is ever compromised, the linked Discord user could alert everyone on Discord (including staff) that he has been compromised and not to deal with the MCM profile. If a user ver forgets their login details, instead of having to create an alt (against MCM rules), they can just log into their Discord and ask staff to help them recover. Whenever the site is down (which is happening more and more often) there will still be an area to communicate with MCM users.

(also this has probably been denied in the past but I haven't seen any thread about this recently, so since MCM has been going down quite a bit I might as well bring it back up)

This would:
1. Provide a secondary form of communication in case MCM goes down.
2. Heavily cut down on the amount of impersonators, which make up the majority of scams.
3. Provide an area for compromised users to alert MCM members NOT to deal with their hacked MCM profile.
4. Provide a way for users who have forgotten their login details to recover their account (without needing to create an alt against MCM rules).

If you disagree, please state why. I'm open to criticism.

As much as I love this idea, it was denied a thousand times in the past unfortunately, and I still can't see a reason why.

could you send me one? i can't actually find any examples, there's just like 12 pages of people suggesting a discord section

I would support this suggestion just so there is a way to contact MCM staff in case you need to get in touch with someone but you are unable to log in to your MCM account...just as it happened to me a while ago. 2fa confirmation email wasn't being sent and as it turns out there is no way to contact MCM support if you cannot log in. I am not even sure can the business operate without displaying their contact info but MCM didn't care about my suggestion back then.

Good point actually, that's happened to two of my friends before. I'll add that to the list.

Just did, last suggestion was in late 2018 and Mick said: "I'd rather keep MC-Market entirely on-site until we can make the bug fixes and improvements necessary before expanding." It's been nearly half a year since then, and I'm sure the majority of bugs have been fixed. Only major issue now is that the website is crashing often, but Discords don't crash, and the Discord would actually be helpful in that situation as a backup.

I'd love to see this implemented, it would not take much effort to do and it'd be HUGELY beneficial to the community.

The list goes on

The last one was half a year ago, and Mick said he wanted to fix the bugs on the site before making any official off-site areas of communication. Many bugs have been fixed since then.

I strongly agree! Especially since scamming is been pretty bad for some lately!

Thank you!

I agreed to the suggestion and was in the middle of forwarding it to the staff team. Then a problem came up that’s not mentioned that much.
Moderation.
Having a discord server would mean another thing to moderate.
-
Banned members would have to be banned on the discord. Which is another thing to do.
What if their discord isn’t the same name? Yes, it can be edited and such, same problem.

Suspended users would abuse this. If we transfer suspensions, that’s another thing to do.

Actual channel moderation. Is it really worth it to code something that would transfer kicks and such.
Verbally warning someone on the discord would be quiet annoying to record on mcmarket.

We’re understaffed as it is, it’s unnecessary and another thing to moderate.
