Teamspeak or Discord Server

[James 1]

I'm aware that this was denied in a previous suggestion but I'd would like to re open this due to the reasoning behind it's denial being illogical and stupid. And times have changed.

Discord and teamspeak have so many advantages over shoutbox. (Shoutox was one of the main arguments against it.) EVERYONE USES IT.

An argument against discord that was made by bebosny is that it would be hard to moderate. And that's an easy fix. We have some brilliant individuals that roam this forum that could come up with a solution. Bots could and would be able to solve a large portion of the problem. If some are missed it can be easily reported.

There are so many advantages to having a discord server.

For one if mcm got discord it would allow a better way to advertise to its members. Because the majority of all members using mc-market having discord so why not use something that the majority of users use. Plus it's a useful application. It would also potentially wipe out any competing discord servers that are trying to compete in market if advertised correctly.

This is a just a really bad summary that is designed to provoke thought. Please comment ideas as to why it would be good idea or terrible idea.

good idea, I think it would bring the community together more.

We're never adding a discord server, at least while I own the site.

I am looking into adding a teamspeak server though. Although it isn't as popular as it used to be, I think that teamspeak is good because it's just for voice chatting which is something not many people on MCM do. There's a great integration addon which I have purchased and have been testing for the past few days. If anyone has any input on a teamspeak server I'd love to hear it.

I have no doubt that discord has more functionality, but I'm never adding it.

In discord people feel more safe. In teamspeak theres many bypasses and getting ips and shit.

Please explain why

I prefer teamspeak over discord it feels simpler and i like the interface more so im fine with it.

Discord may have the advantage over teamspeak as an overall platform but it would allow for too many scammers to come back and scam again. Not a good idea imo. On the other hand, teamspeak would be able to eliminate most of those threats as most scammers (unless they're "Microsoft employees") won't talk in a voice chat.

Personally I agree with you. Perhaps there could be just general channels and what not maybe a few deal channels. Also, there could be premium and donor channels. This allows the shout box functionality and exclusiveness to donors not be taken way but it also allows for a more private channel. I'd love to talk to you further about this if you would be interested.

If you need someone to setup it up (permissions and channels etc). I will be down to help (for free ofcourse ).

Let's straight to the point, As far as i know there's so many mc servers/sites/competitor sites/ are using this Discord, It's a platform for chatting it has also a voice chat tbh Discord is better than TeamSpeak idk what's the problem adding a Discord.

Actually, from what I know, Teamspeak has a better voice quality. However, I think the point in not adding it is that it is a whole new part to moderate on, a lot more work... and to be honest. There is really no need for extra text chats.

 

[Regret]

Personally I prefer teamspeak - In discord, everyone sits in the AFK lobby, whereas teamspeak can be somewhere people go to specifically talk to people. Either way, a way for users to 'hang out' would be great, because although designed for it, shoutbox doesen't really allow much casual conversation to occur.

I would recommend if Mick posts a poll on Twitter or somewhere on an MC-Market thread of who will actually use Teamspeak. I personally believe there is no point of a Teamspeak or discord server as Teamspeak will allow people to get ips and banned members will be able to join and discord well we already know about that.

I would imagine the reason why mick won’t add it. If all deals and stuff were posed on a discord the site would absolutely die.
