Rules Updated

[tjrgg]

Hello fellow members,

First of all, happy new year! I hope all of you are enjoying your New Year's Day. How fast time does fly.

With a brand new year come a brand new set of rules. We took the current rules and completely rewrote them from scratch to give them a more clear and concise meaning. We feel that these new rules will make it very clear as to what is allowed and what is not allowed and we feel that these new rules will be best for the community.

However, we want to hear your feedback on the new rules. These rules are in no way set in stone and we are happy to consider the feedback of the members. What do you think about these new rules? Is there something that we should change and if so, why?

The rules wiki page has been updated and you can read the new rules there at http://www.mc-market.org/wiki/rules/. After you've read the new rules, feel free to come back here and post your honest opinions and tell us what you think. We will review and consider all of your feedback and make changes over the next few days based on your feedback.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to leave them here on this thread or send a private message to either Ajdin or myself and we will gladly address your concerns.

That's all for now.

the worlds most shittiest tos and rules award goes to.. ya know it lads, mcm.

Instead of trashing us please give a more useful reply.

We are not expecting everything we do is perfect that's why we need the userbase to help us out.

You should criticise us in a proper way instead of just trash talking.

I've modified the layout a little bit. We've got number instead of bullet points now. This may not be fully what you wanted, but I'm hoping it's close.
EDIT: Apparently, the wiki doesn't support the number-bullet option. But it still looks better than it did, I think.

-sigh-
"Section 1. bullet... hold on let me count".
Yeah, not really what I had in mind.
Thanks for the effort though.

Care to explain why?
If you have a better set of rules in mind, by all means speak up, I'd love to see them.

why cant we advertise thread links and server ips in shoutbox

You can advertise thread links, as long as they are within MCM.
You can't advertise server ips because they are unrelated to MCM.
(And opening up that doorway has obvious negative side effects)

Apparently, I'm not as good as writing as I thought. Haha.

The rule is suppose to say this: "Do not buy, sell or encourage others to buy or sell unmigrated accounts."


I've fixed the errors mentioned. I'll leave the two rules that are similar as they are, just so it's crystal clear.

Much of what you said is all about enforcement and how we decide to go about enforcing the rules. We do have it on our to-do list to re-evaluate the warning system and improve discipline overall. We'll most likely make an announcement or maybe add a page in the wiki about discipline to outline what will happen if you decide to misbehave.

With regard to low-quality posting, there is no longer a rule regarding low-quality posts. Instead, we've made a rule about meaningless content and defined examples of meaningless content in the rules. Like I said earlier, we have yet to come up with a discipline plan and that's something we'll most likely do in the upcoming days.


As for an "off-topic" forum, this has been suggested within the staff team as well, and we decided against it. The reason for this is we feel that an "off-topic" forum will encourage more "shitposting". This is a marketplace forum, after all.


I'm confused. What rule are you referring to?


This is regarding the rule about attempting to contact staff in the shoutbox. The rule doesn't say you can't talk with staff in the shoutbox. We only don't want members to rely on the shoutbox and depend on staff being there. You should always send a private message to a staff member if you need to contact them.

There's going to be shitposts regardless though, you might as well contain them in a place where regular members don't have to visit and see it. Just remove post count from that forum like you guys did with Forum Games. I think this would be a good way to filter the useless shit out of general discussion.

I suggest creating a suggestion thread. We'd like to see this get discussed more.

Ah, I see. I understand what you're saying there. There's a difference between having a discussion and arguing. Again, our discipline plan will most likely determine how strict or lenient we'll be with this rule, but we feel that it's an important one, as not everyone wants to see a few users argue in the shoutbox.

why cant we advertise thread links and server ips in shoutbox

You can still advertise your threads. You never were allowed to advertise your server IP though. The rules haven't changed regarding those things.

Thank you for RESOURCE RULES :tup:
Some people abuse resource bumping way too much...

This is exactly while those rules were added.

I was just waiting for that rule to come

You're welcome.

I was just waiting for that rule to come

I'm pretty sure i was the one who suggested that.
Because some people there have no respect to other people resources...to those who follow rules!

 

[MrAniman2]

There was no rule against that before so how can some follow them?

Let's call it common sense...

Looks like alot of work put into these.
Nice

So, basically we can sell any Minecraft account as long as it's migrated and we fully own it?

At this time, let's keep it to OG and Special accounts. We haven't made any decisions regarding regular accounts yet. Apologizes for not adding that in the rules specifically.

I think this rule needs to be a little more specific. You should state the "advertising doesn't include offering." Especially in the build section, members ask for things. This kinda falls under this rule, don't you think?

Arguing in shoutbox is kind of fun, and I believe that is one of te functions of the shoutbox, to relay your mesage faster than in a thread, which

Arguing usually goes on between 2 parties. If you're not involved and the argument is somewhat irrelevant, you won't like it.

It makes the SB look like a war zone in most cases.
