bAss-Akwards basilmarket logic - Our website is destroyed [header]THE ENTERTAINMENT SECTION NEEDS TO BE ABOLISHED[/header] I made a thread like 3 or 4 years ago suggesting that basil chat section be put into subforums and stuff. I was immediately shut down. The consensus was that making a bunch of subforums would kill /6/ as we know it - basilmarket already is a sort of subforum in a way, because it descends from MapleStory [b]At the time the traffic on the site was at an all time high. You could make a thread and watch it get swept to the 2nd page in less than 5 minutes. There were hundreds of thousands of users on the site every single day. A thread could get 5+ pages of comments in a matter of minutes[/b] fast forward to now traffic on t

The auction system needs to be changed The auction system needs to be changed with the new world alliances. I'll use the CYMK alliance as an example: I saw a chart someone made that said it had more people than Broa, however, there is virtually nothing being auctioned in any of the worlds. I think it is because all of them were so small that there would be no point selling something on here. Now that the worlds have aligned, it will be a lot easier to buy/sell things on basil. It will also help, because instead of checking Yellonde, Kradia, Mardia and Chaos for an item, you would only have to check once. I dunno. Just my two cents.

Feels like the site is too sparse for these restrictions i.e. if want to ask for training spots at a certain level, and then I pass that level... do I bump my own thread and say [i]"I'm now level xx. Where do I go now?[/i] ...well I can't because we're not allowed to reply 2wice in a row. But I also can't just spam a new thread because (a) lol @ the spam and creation of useless threads by doing that (b) I run out of my "24 hour thread limit" pretty quickly It just feels like there aren't enough people left around for all these rules to still be in place as they are: they were introduced when the site was super popular... but now it's pretty slow, eh? If I want to ask a new question or post an update or something, I can't beca

Did anyone else notice that they removed the medal system? I may be late on figuring this out, and this may be a repost, but I didn't see anyone talking about it, so I decided to make the thread. Sure, no one cared about the # of medals they had, and some of them were really hard to get. The problem I have is the fact that now it's impossible to know how long somebody has been a basiler. Personally I find this annoying because if I saw someone make a stupid thread, I'd look at their basilID and see either "Eh, I'll let it go, they haven't even been a member for 3 months. They'll get used to it." OR "Wow! They've been here THAT long and they're still being immature?" I also foresee another problem in the future: So many b

Why am I a quotlevel 0quot basiler? Oh okay I see, just read the thread. That's stupid. I look like a total forum noob on here now... let's not forget who your basil Queen was in 2012 (though yes, I was a member long before that as well). :/ and jesus christ they still haven't fixed that "quotTitlequot" thing with titles... like honestly that should take like 2 seconds to code and it's been like that for years now and the site is really new-looking. Are we allowed to submit custom avatars again yet?

New Report Function So you may have noticed that the means by which you report someone's post have changed. I just have a general question about it: I was trying to report that guy who kept making the "Find page 2" threads, but I never got confirmation. Whenever I hit the "submit" button on the report form, I got the "white screen of death," and when I hit refresh, I was back at the report from, but the text I had entered was gone. So I don't know whether or not I have reported the post.

Your message contains a word that's not allowed: Any attempt to bypass this will result in a permanent ban on all accounts. I am a little unclear on the exactness of this rule. It says we are not allowed to bypass the filter, or we will be perma banned. Sure. But what if we HAVE to bypass the filter in order to make our post? Like I cannot say the word that means "full of boast." because of the last two letters of boast combine with the first two letters of ful... for that reason I couldn't make my post. (I was like, wtf? I didn't say that anywhere... but then I found it. My message to the mods: Is it okay to bypass the filter with like $ and 4 and + for letters if the word isn't actually bad, and it is just the combination of let

Criteria for basil account deletion? I hear stories all over basil, (mainly on chat island) :P about people getting their old accounts deleted. I was wondering what they would have done in order for their accounts to have been deleted. I am always scared when I get a suspension, because I try hard to follow the rules, and I really hope that I didn't do something that would get my account removed. So if anyone has any information on account deletions and reasons why, could you please inform me? EDIT: I don't mean like willingly deleting an account. I mean getting in so much trouble and whatnot that the account is deleted. I was wondering what the criteria was so that I could know exactly what kind of behavior to avoid.

I hope the mods in General Section are more strict than Chat Seriously. I've been posting in General for a few days after getting back into playing the game, and the comments are abysmal. NOTHING I have seen in chat has EVER been as bad as some of the things people say in General section. The first time I ever got a suspension on basil was for saying "/endthread." APPARENTLY that is a meme, according to whoever suspended me. The thing is, I didn't even know that... my suspension was completely unexpected, and I was shocked when I saw the post that got me in trouble. The above anecdote is to put the Chat Section strictness into perspective. I really hope that the mods are as strict in the General Section. The comments there make me
