    This month, we've continued working to improve your experience here at MCTrades by introducing increased automation, simplifying a variety of systems, and more.

    In addition to this, we have modified our policies. Please review them prior to the usage of our platform using the following links: Terms of Service and Rules, Privacy Policy, and Cookie Usage.

    User Experience and Interface

    • Applicable upgrades will now have their username styling automatically applied to your account.
    • We get it, not many people feel like creating a ticket for those minor things. During charity events, the Charitable medal will be purchasable through Account Upgrades and will be automatically applied. Upon gifting an upgrade valued at or above $5.00 USD to another member, enjoy automatically receiving the Generous medal. Feel like supporting MCTrades? Our $5, $25, and $100 donation medals are now also available for purchase on the Account Upgrades page.
    • Just love clicking buttons and realized the floating dispute creation button didn't work? Well, don't worry. Both the stationary and floating buttons now direct you to the dispute creation form, so keep on clicking.
    • We've removed the "Alpha" resource prefix and renamed "BETA" to "Beta."
    • Let's say you like creating drafts. But then, you lose track of your drafts and can't find the one you created a minute ago. Stop losing drafts. We've switched it from being alphabetically sorted to sorted by date.
    • Four additional smilies have been put into the smilie selector.
    • The Drafts forum node has been hidden and replaced with a link to it to make things a bit cleaner.
    • All resource threads are now located in Resources rather than being split up in favor of the resource manager's categories.
    • Adjustments have been made to dispute form wording as suggested in Dispute Section.
    • The Systems Administration forum node has been merged with Server Management as suggested in Move / Delete "Server Management".
    • The Example Dispute has been updated as suggested in Disputes Example.
    • The Middlemen forum node has been moved under Recruitment.
    • Flipped the locations of Miscellaneous Services and Non-Minecraft Merchandise.
    Account and Security

    • The "Download Skin" link on profiles has been switched to Crafatar due to its reliability.
    • An upgrade confirmation email is now sent upon purchasing an account upgrade.
    • The requirements to provide reputation have been softened slightly.
    • Improved message filters as suggested in Anti Swear.
    • Due to a shortage of cape codes in the market, the Cape Code Requests forum node has been deleted and threads within it have been archived.
    Team Members

    • Ren has officially resigned from our team while wielding the role of moderator.
    • Jet has been removed from our staff team while acting as a chat moderator due to misconduct.
    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Can I become a member of the MCTrades staff team?
      • We find that by hand-picking members to become staff provides an overall better quality team here at MCTrades. To become a member of our team, simply help others and be active in the community...just don't overdo it.
    • What's up with MCTrades's official Discord server?
      • Unfortunately, we have decided not to create an official Discord server due to security concerns and to maintain the integrity of our platform.
    • I have a queued ad and see an open slot, why hasn't an invoice generated yet?
      • Typically, this means that there is a pending invoice which is holding the slot for up to forty-eight (48) hours for another member. If they fail to pay, the next member in the queue will be given a chance at leasing an ad slot.
    • Can I purchase an account upgrade or advertisement with crypto-currencies?
      • Unfortunately, due to factors such as the fluctuating prices of crypto-currencies and limited usability, we have decided not to accept crypto-currencies, however may potentially do so in the future.
