Stolen avatar

@Pavchka @BobR @mmorpg

There's someone on basil who stole one of my avatar as their player, but when I went to the report section, there's no option for impersonating, only "I can't add my basil avatar".

Which option should I file my report under and do I need to link a screenshotted proof that the avatar actually belongs to me?

-Thanks, a basiler who's a tad bit salty that his main avatar was stolen.

[quote=Caeg]On a similar subject, BasilMarket won't let me add my Legend character. I'm able to input the ign and it will pull up my Legend, but it doesn't give me an option to select a class which results in an error telling me to select a class. I submitted a manual add to Mr. B 1-2 weeks ago and my character still hasn't been added. Ign is Coasters.[/quote]

That's a really old problem and one that MrBasil doesn't really seem to want to solve. Basilers have never been able to add Legends to their player list as far as I remember. I PMed him about it a couple of times a few years ago, but he ignored the PMs. It sucks because I really like the philosophy behind Permanent Beginners/Oddbuilds.

[quote=Pavchka]"I can't add my player" seems to be the most appropriate option. Make sure to include the evidence when you submit the ticket. It's a good screen, it contains enough evidence.

If you don't hear back from MrBasil within a week, don't hesitate to hit me up and I'll forward the problem to him via PM. I have no clue what the "ticket box" looks like for him, but there's always such a backlog that he doesn't get to the more urgent stuff very quickly.[/quote]

Actually the "I can't add my player" only accepts the name of the character, it doesn't allow for any text or links to be included to explain the problem.
I guess it's intended for situations where there's a problem with the character's name for some reason, like it's filtered on Basilmarket, or it's a new class that's not quite working yet.

For stolen players, use the "Other" subject and explain the situation as fully as possible.
Include a link to a screenshot taken in the game on that character, and have them say something like "Hi Basilmarket, this is nhan1st" in the chat bubble, with the character's name clearly visible.
That will prove it's your character.
Also include a link to the other person's Basilmarket "players" page showing your character on their account.

That way Mr. Basil can check it out and take action to return the character to you.[/quote]

Note to self: shouldn't post on Basil while making dinner, since I usually do recommend the "other" option. /faceplant

I tried adding the screen link in "I can't add my player" but there wasn't enough character spaces to put it in.
