"Who owns"

[Joey]

it seems like more than the threads in appraisals are for "who owns" so it's kinda annoying to go through.

could we just get another section for this

This is very nearly a duplicate suggestion thread:

https://www.mc-market.org/threads/154590/
https://www.mc-market.org/threads/119108/
https://www.mc-market.org/threads/291276/
https://www.mc-market.org/threads/433532/

A lot of threads are duped, fucking accept them.

oof

A lot of threads are duped, fucking accept them.

Edit: Most of them have already been denied. Read them to understand why.

 

[Joey]

Watch your fucking language.

shouldn't the multiple requests show it would be a nice addition

 

[Joey]

Justis plus they were denied in 2016 as they werent needed at the time, it's 100% needed rn, go check the appraisal sub for yourself its kinda cancer

Not necessary, they should just be posted to here: https://www.mc-market.org/forums/advice-and-assistance/

Implement a rule where it's mandatory to post them in this section, rather than posting in appraisals. Moderation in that section is excessively necessary.

It already should be enforced with 1.22... it's kind of blurred. If people want values for those accounts too, then it's okay to be in Appraisals, but otherwise, you're right. Just report the threads I suppose. :shrug:

Apparently, this isn’t something we really need and would be a useless forum. (Said by Mick in the last suggestion about this https://www.mc-market.org/threads/119108/)

However I the reason I wouldn’t add this would be the chance of scamming. MC accounts are sold in threads, where the user has to link it to their account to prove they do indeed have access to that account. However if this was to be added, someone could see a request and just PM them to sell them it, bypassing that protection that was put in place. Or an impersonator could contact them via a different mean (Skype, Discord etc).

Yes, everyone should verify they are talking to the real person, but in practice, very few people do. As for proving they own the account, most of the “evidence” a scammer could provide, could be inspect elemental, or by using an offline server to screenshot themselves, with that name.

Could add a rule to make people link the account before they are allowed to PM someone about selling it. However it would be hard to enforce, since not many will pay too much attention to it.

May be of some use for YouTube and other account types, since they don't have that added protection to begin with. But if I have a YouTube to sell, I'd make a thread to sell it, not wait for someone to request buying one. I can sell lots of buyers wanting this, but i'm not sure if there would be the sellers to make this work.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
