Prevent your account from getting locked.

[cute]

If you don't already know, the supposed "snitcher" for getting all the accounts locked is ThePhantomDev (https://www.mc-market.org/threads/537870/#post-4253136) or as he claims, but he hasn't given any proof whatsoever that he's done this, only made a statement.

A follow up on Love 's suggestion:
Instead of just 1 star to censor the name (example: L*ve) we should do it entirely, but only for new viewers and non-ranked members. (example: a non-ranked member would see ****) Now some have already disagreed that this will do nothing, that's why I suggest this:

Create some sort of application system that when a premium+ wants to sell minecraft accounts, they have to create an application, wait for it to get reviewed by staff, otherwise they cannot see the semi-og/og/ranked/cape/whatever threads and it'd just be starred (like the example above.) I cannot determine that what would be ON the applications, but I know this could at least take a few more steps for mojang to see the accounts.

either this or reach a certain amount of rep/trust to view the account threads, similar to the OG private account thread ^

As for the "snitching" as mentioned above, this suggestion can also prevent that.

You.... you... you want to make another... another application process!?

People can't stop complaining about how the staff does nothing when they have to deal with reports, support requests, resource requests, scam report applications, name changes and more...

like it makes sense but unless you want to implement something like private og's... not really a solution.

i mean, safer than getting our accounts locked

can't really use "People can't stop complaining about how the staff does nothing when they have to deal with reports, support requests, resource requests, scam report applications, name changes and more..." as an excuse unless it's actually happening,,, (i do understand that's what people complain about, but most of the time it's not actually true) do you think staff actually take a long time to respond? bc in my opinion, they're somewhat okay at responding depending on the thread subject

unless ur pro-stop mc acc selling, this application system, which should be a 1 time thing for each user meaning this is only a side application that shouldn't take as long as your "reports, support requests, resource requests, scam report applications, name changes and more" applications, it shouldn't be a big deal considering not all of mcm's user are account sellers, (the applications should only be for selling minecraft accounts) but because account sellers are getting targeted and accounts are being locked, this application system might actually be very helpful and maintain mcm's users instead of them migrating to a new competitor site

I agree, changing MC-Market's methods will keep it's members. People will migrate forums if they cannot sell something here but can on another forum.

I'm not super into the whole account selling thing but I do see a significant flaw in your suggestion. What exactly are staff approving? That you're a premium user? That seems redundant and be automated by perms. That you're trustworthy (with accounts)? That won't stop scamming and may end in a limited number of sellers. We see trusted members exit scam on a regular basis and I'm sure the term 'scam account' didn't appear out of thin air.

if you read the suggestion ^
this isn't about scammers, it's to prevent your account being locked, no one can ever determine who is a scammer especially considering people build up rep just to scam.
This account is not proving that i'm or whomever is a premium user, and you can't sell minecraft accounts without premium on here, anyways. Please look through the suggestion as I suggested that we create an application FOR the minecraft account selling community. This makes Mojang have to go through a few more steps in order to see accounts that are being listed

A follow up on Love 's suggestion:

an add-on to Love 's suggestion saying that no one can view the minecraft names that are being listed without via contact through the account seller.

What exactly are staff approving?

With the ability of the application, it won't only prevent accounts from being locked, it also can maintain mcm's users, and there are quite a lot of people on this site who buy/sell/rebuy/resell minecraft accounts. If accounts stop being locked, people won't have to migrate to a new site to sell their accounts.

 

[Lewyy]

If they don't change their ways when it comes to buying/selling semis/ogs then they're simply going to lose a lot of their members so surely they have to do something if they want people to stick around.

 

[Desert]

a mojang staff member could fake all their shit and boom, they're in and can see everything. i like the idea of this but make it more... complicated i think is the word so that its harder for mojang

Why did I know you were going to say that. No, it's not about scammers, it's about locking accounts and this suggestion doesn't accomplish that. It just adds additional steps to achieve the same goal - whether that be selling accounts, reporting them, buying them, whatever. My point being that adding additional application is the equivalent of adding an application to use a feature you're granted when you purchase Premium. That's kind of (not really) like saying "hey, let's add an application to post resources but only when you have premium to reduce leaking and posting malware" but why? "why not?". I'm having a hard time phrasing what I'm trying to mean.

Let me just simplify my point to why add an application when the entire accounts section can be set to be only seen by Premium+? Would that not accomplish the same goal you're trying to reach? In respect to Love's suggestion, is the equivalent not just posting ever account as "*******" and only accepting messages from interested buyers as a filter per person? Nothing really stopping you from doing that already.

it won't only prevent accounts from being locked

This makes Mojang have to go through a few more steps in order to see accounts that are being listed

So you're contradicting yourself and pretty much adding additional steps as I mention above? You really still haven't explained what staff are approving. I don't see how adding a redundant application is going to "maintain users" when selling accounts or products to an open market - the entire internet.

I'm just going to leave it and stop replying because I frankly don't care much about the whole accounts thing and just wanted to point out some blatant flaws with this suggestion that might not be obvious to the person making the suggestion.

this is pointless, it would be extremely tedious to implement an effective system to prevent accounts from being locked

Of course, it would be pointless since you don't support the selling of mc accounts.

Anyways, In my opinion I love this idea by cute, but like what Desert said there must be some way to create a much more complicated process before selling or viewing the accounts section which will somewhat make it harder for Mojang to access.

Go check the MC account selling thread and all my points on it. You’ll really see whether I support it or not but rules are rules.

An application process like he’s said here would be extremely inconvenient. I wanted them to do this for reps so that bs reps wouldn’t be submitted or deleted in mass like they are rn but they won’t do that. If they won’t do something like this for a thing that isn’t at risk of being taken away, what makes you think that something at risk if being taken away will have this happen to it

 

[Blood]

I like the intent of the idea but I don't see it working. Applications are a terrible idea and making the MC acc section private isn't a great idea and there's a good chance it's not going to help the market or protect the names from being reported to Mojang. Plus, MCM's system is structured where you have to have the username associated and publicly visible to prove that you have access to it. We'd have to scrap the association system or heavily censor it which would kind of defeat the point of it. The only solution I see working is having free form threads in the OG section and users being able to censor the username however they choose but with the current structure, I don't see that happening either.

tl;dr - this forum is hopeless

 

[ZsZ]

Use a * in the name. Ex: if your og name was "Cool", then post it as "Co*l". They can't prove if it's really Cool or Co0l, so they can't lock it.

 

[Mick]

We're not going to be making any changes to our Minecraft account sales systems on the forum at this time.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion
