A large majority of posts also tend to be photoshopped images.
Most recently Melee Hell is know for Crowd Funding Chu Dat's EVO 2015 plane ride. Due to the "sponsorship," he entered the tournament as MH|Chu Dat and wore a Melee Hell designed shirt. In terms of why Chu Dat was sponsored, people noted that Chu Dat, while not being a Fox main, was the personification of a troll.

Owing to the controversy over the group's existence, some tournament organizers have banned the use of the Melee Hell tag, though some organizations, such as CLASH Tournaments and VGBootCamp, do not ban the tag. To help alleviate issues with the community, many people enter as MH| instead of Melee Hell, citing that it is less controversial.
