When an upstairs toilet or shower is drained the basement toilet gurgles and drains when you flush the basement toilet at any time it's a VERY lazy flush unless you lightly-tip it off the wax?
Your vent pipe for that part of the plumbing is either blocked or non-existent. Having to tip the toilet off center slightly is letting air enter into the system, something that should be happening under normal conditions if the vent pipe were working properly. That vent pipe needs to be snaked out and cleaned.
