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.

Adding a discord server wouldn't cut down on the number of impersonators. Unfortunately, impersonation scams do happen a lot but it's only ever towards new users who aren't aware of impersonators existing. If a user doesn't check your profile to see that the discords match, why would they check a discord server?

In the past, the possibility of a server had been considered, but after more consideration, there was no real benefit to adding a discord. I would like to add a better authentication system between discord and MCM, but making a server likely isn't the solution to that.

Better education and information for new users is what reduces scams, not new systems that new users won't even use.

Also if a user gets locked out of their account they can just create a new account to get support for the ban, creating an entire server to provide off-site support isn't necessary.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
