Basil slowly dying out

Is it just Me that thinks so? All there is now is trolls, "I got hacked" threads, and an occasional good conversation. All the interesting conversation topics are kind of played out, and more than half of the threads are trolls or gray blobs. Mr. B should seriously force you to have ATLEAST +5 feedback or something to make a thread.

Basil has always had a terrible community it's just that you haven't noticed it until now.

[quote=Darklaser7]@Lookout4Mee: Yeah but lot of people use basil just like a forum and not for the trading stuff.
I have 0 feedback because I don't use the trades and I almost never troll, just like 1/100 of my posts are troll and I always try to give usefull answers.[/quote]
I guess. Maybe like at first you can do what you want freely, then if you violate a rule you must serve your suspension and get a certain amount of feedback to be able to create threads again ?

[quote=Darklaser7]Isn't feedback from trades? If so, then why would you have to trade items to make threads?[/quote]

It would just be to like prove that your faithful to the account and it's not just to troll other basilers.

[quote=TheZigen]you just described what basil has been for the past 6 years[/quote]

Uhm no. Across several accounts I've been an active member of the basil forum for approximately three years, it used to be better IMO. Even the trolls were better, they were actually funny.

It's not even hard to get +5 feedback and it'd be easier to get rid of these crappy trolls.

I concur. The only problem is that I don't have +5 feedback so that's going to be a problem. Most of the threads here nowadays are either QQ threads or threads that don't interest me.

@Lookout4Mee: But then I couldn't semi-troll.

What fun would that be? Actually, I'd be good if DrHye checks the thread. He'd let some of it slide. And I think Eevee too.
