Thread Title: Ability to create a business ecc account inside of yours, so you can speak in the name of your company or even advertise sometimes on the forums! Minecraft Name: Vunthorghini Suggestion: My suggestion is to be able to create one or more accounts inside of yours with a business/company that you have, so you can advertise, make announcements, in other words, talk as a company. Reason: I think this would be a great addiction to the ECC Forums because it would facilitate the creation of companies, the advertisement, it would also make announcements easier to make for companies, ect! Other Information: Don't know if this is possible to make, but if it is I think it would be a really useful addiction! Maybe the accounts would need to have a main thread with a link attached to it!

So have a sub account type of structure? - Vintage_Gamer (Primary Account) --- Business 1 (Sub accounts) --- Business 2 EDIT: Found this: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/sub-accounts-by-waindigo.2203/
I see problems with this 1 - use of secondary account to boost primary account 2 - people creating 2nd forum accounts could cause confusion 3 - additions of businesses for advertising may kill trade chat with will anger a lot of people 4- why not just post a business thread and update it
Group Permissions can fix this. What kind of confusion? Do you get confused between Mark Zucherberg and Facebook for example? Not really. The For Sale / wanted forum doesn't kill it so...
the suggestion just kind of baffles me as to why you wouldn't just create a business thread in for sale/ wanted/ job offers
I suppose that makes sense. However the suggestion is to enhace the trading and selling areas of the server (from what I understand anyway), so I think its a kinda nice idea.
But how is that any different from what it is now? A user make a thread, the title contains the company name. Why would the username have to as well? It would only make things more complicated.
Exactly! That's the main objective of my idea! It would actually make things a lot easier! For example: searching for certain businesses instead of having to check the whole For Sale list, to make announcements of new things in a business, because if you edit it in your main thread people may not see it, adding everything up, it would make everything a lot easier for both the person selling and the customer and it would also enhance trading as @Vintage_Gamer said! Also, in the real world isn't it different of saying Bill Gates and Microsoft?
putting the name anywhere in your thread makes it searchable. You don't need a separate accountname for that.
As I said, is it the same to talk about Bill Gates and Microsoft? Also, it is necessary if you want to keep things more organized! Business is one thing, your personal ecc life is other! Imagine you create a business in real life, wouldn't you want to create a website to advertise and expand it? Or would you just advertise it on your Facebook account?
I don't entirely see a point to this but I wouldn't necessarily mind it either, but if implemented I believe there should be startup fee for each business account (most likely in ecd) and a limit to how many a user can have. +indifferent, Just wanted to give my input
