Extended BasilMarket Rules & Regulations Guide [header]Introduction[/header] [b]Hello boys, girls, and animals (?) of basilmarket! I've done my share of surfing around this website, looking at people's complaints about suspensions, asking mods about what they would suspend, and reporting person after person (though it died down recently due to school) for every last rule they break. However, I keep seeing people complain about getting suspended! I, for one, cannot imagine why someone would complain about getting suspended unless [i]they simply were not aware of the rules.[/i][/b] We have two VERY excellent guides already on the rules and regulations of basilmarket. However, there are still many hidden factors that will indeed get you su
Listings are so inconveniently convenient. Listings are great. But the fact that I made one 2 months ago and it hasn't been taken off yet, and I got a warning 2 weeks ago, is pretty bad. I was forced to take it off. But then, I get "banned" from making listings. Point is, why make listings last soooooo long?
Extremely slow basilmarket? Whenever I make a thread, it says that this site already has the max user connections active. Must mean the servers are crowding up like crazy. Anyways, that is the problem here, my basilmarket is mad slow, it takes almost 5 to 20 seconds just to open up a page, which doesnt even always work.. It's not my internet since I'm reading manga right now and nothing's slow, but yeah. Anyone else experiencing slow basilmarket?
Clicking a thread and going to the bottom of the page Whenever I click on a thread, I am taken to the bottom of the page. I have to scroll up or press home in order to see the original post, and while it's a very small and do-able thing, it's also very annoying. How come I can't click a thread and automatically see the original post? Does anyone else have this problem? I'm using Google Chrome, but I got a new laptop last week and the problem existed for several months now, so it's not my computer's problem.
Petition to Re-allow curse words with spaces Petitions are useless but I'll do them anyways. Curse words should be blocked, but if there is a space or comma between them, they should be allowed. When people cuss on these forums, they don't add spaces or punctuation between them, they spell them differently. For example, if the word "apple" was a curse word, then they'd spell it "appel" or "aple" or "appol." Not "app-le" or "a p p l e." So what's the reason? Well, it's pretty annoying when I'm typing up a response, only to be prevented from doing so because of a single word. For example, the word "tit" used to be banned, because when people typed "but it," it wou
Basilversary #24 Theory I keep seeing people claiming they solved the basilversary theory. There are two types of people who "solved" it. 1) Those who solved it but claim that any hints are illegal, or they make screenshots that are so easy to edit that it won't take more than 30 seconds. [b]These people are most likely lying. Most of them have already been proved to be lying.[/b] 2) Those who solved it but it doesn't scratch out on their list. [b]These people are just ignorant.[/b] There are other websites that have created collaborated efforts to locate the answer to this riddle. They have a team of over 30 people trying to have a go at it. Apparently, no one has found it. I highly doubt mrbasil would make it so difficult that y
I was just warned for posting a reply? "It appears that you're trying to do something that you shouldn't be doing. This has been logged." This keeps appearing when I try to post a reply. The reply has no curse words in it, and is nothing but a debate subject. It's a serious reply with no meme, advertisement, link, or anything of that sort.
Basil has auctions but how do I buy things? No one really uses the wishlists... and the buying tab only says how many people are buying it; they don't actually get notified if someone's selling it and its just not very effective at all. It doesn't specify the stats that I want and it doesn't specify potentials or whatnot. I'm looking to buy a 3 line potential VIP dagger and VIP Katara, both clean, with either average or above average base attack.
That basil maintenance So it basically added ads all around the site and made RIFT show up everywhere I go. The ads are also badly placed, as they are overlapping with the header bar. Anything new aside from an overload in ads?
How many times does this happen to you See a thread. Make a post. Post ends up being pretty lengthy since the thread is either a question or a debate subject. Spend 5 or 10 minutes typing the post. Press post. Thread is locked. /Initiate Rage Sequence
Will mrbasil consider my requests I've just about had it with my avatars being rejected. I'm sick of being a grey blob. I quit maple already so I don't want to buy NX just to make a basil avatar, and my actual maple avatar is stripped down to the -ahem-. I remain on basil for the chat section and the art section, that's it. But what's wrong with my avatars? I don't see anything wrong with them. I checked them via the guide on basil, and I checked very pixel. It's not similar color, it's not even color edited. The only thing that is custom that doesn't exist in maple is the hairstyle, which is a combination [i]that works.[/i] So, I sent mrbasil ticket just now. [quote=WorkOfArt] Dear Mr. Basil, I understand that you wish to keep custom avata
MrBasil should bring back Custom Avatars. It doesn't take all that long to see whether or not an avatar is valid. Even if you did miss a pixel, it's not gonna affect the basil community in any way at all, and no one will notice. Mrbasil said that some 0.000xx% people used it, but so many more people used it than a mere 0.0000xx%. Avatars should be something that tells others who you are, so just let it happen. I pressed the update button on one of my basil-specific characters and bam, non-NXed version came out. A lot of people use customized avatars. At least 1%, I'd say. It's not like many people use things like the Selling tab on Auctions, so why not bring it back?
Basil Redirecting to blank page? 1 out of every 2 or 3 clicks on basil goes to a blank page, and I have to refresh several times to get it to work. Anyone else experiencing this problem? I'm using Google Chrome on a Vista 64 bit. Never had this problem until like a few weeks ago.
I don't understand why mrbasil doesn't IP ban Yes, it is an invasion of privacy, as the mods have told me. However, if mrbasil is honest and responsible enough to even SAY that it's an invasion of privacy and to ACTUALLY not record and/or look at anyone's IP address, why doesn't he simply make it so only he himself can ban people based on IP? Mods can recommend a player to be IP banned, such as trolls or people who make fake accounts or gray blobs who purposefully raid threads just to troll, and with a quick and 2 second process, mrbasil can IP ban the person. I made a website myself for college so I know exactly how much effort it takes to program an IP address tracker and banner. It's not hard at all. Once it's implemented, it's nothing m
Just make real auctions It's so annoying when a seller takes his or her auction down because the price is too damn low. Alright, I understand you not wanting to sell an item for a low price. We all want to profit somehow, and selling an expensive item for 2/3 or half the price isn't exactly profitable. But you know what? [b]I can't for the love of god put my hand on why people make auctions and don't list a minimum price. The minimum price is there for a freaking reason. It's to keep you people from removing the auction two seconds before the auction ends.[/b] I talked to a certain basiler (not going to name him) on maple today, asking him about an auction that I was bidding on. He started the bid at 500m. The bid went to 550m. The actual p
Theres Always One Problem Or Another I know MrB and forum tech support (which is like 1 or 2 people) try their hardest, but there's always one problem or another with the website. One moment the quotes button is missing, the next moment clicking on a link from the quotes button leads you to an error page. Not to mention the constant failure to display the webpage notices you get when basilmarket has it's "down times." I know it costs a lot to increase the bandwidth of the website. No one's expecting him to do so, because increasing bandwidth would only help for several months, and would cost as much as what MrB makes from advertisements in those several months. He'd be running without pay. But couldn't there me some kind of automa
