Organization

Many people are tired of the low status of this site. And its a shame. I think this is a site of opportunities. The criticism appears to target the younger members. They do not take magic seriously and they spread a wrong propaganda. They believe that anything is possible with magic, but there are of course limitations of natural causes.

I have a radical proposal. Lets say you need to be 18 years old to be a member on this site.
It will not solve the whole problem, but its a good start.

I went to the astral and saw the word organization,is that where you got the topic name from?I don't think you should set an age limit.I wish I had come to this site when I was a youth,although I wouldn't have believe it then.

I dont think thats such a great idea. Because this site is so great for wiccans and witches. And a lot of wiccans want to start there relgion of at a young age. I personally am very young but I know a lot about magick,becuase I read Tons of Books on the subject and I read Forum Posts and ask questions. I think a better way of solving the problem would be to give lessons to inexperienced newbies.

Well, that's just ruined my life again.

Your punishing all the youth for what others are saying? I'm 13 and I don't ask those fluffy questions, but I have to leave because I'm not an adult?

I see faults.

im 16 and i am nowhere as stupid as i was a year ago wicca its a learning expirience as we dig deeper we can see the diffrence from the truth and our imagination

I'm 13 and I knew from the start when I was 5 that magic wasn't flashy and every thing tv makes it out to be. I want to learn. I don't want to be fake and say oh yeah I'm 18 blah blah blah. Yeah I would understand if it had some bad stuff on it but it doesnt. Exept for fake spells and people. If this site would get rid of the fakes. It would be great. But I need to learn. If they do that then I'm loved in the broom closet with no escape an help from anyone.

I knew that because I had caries as friends. They are so much fun. Buy ow in trying to reopen my 3 eye and failing miserably.

As wretched as I can be, I would say that I've met a lot of younger members on this site that have good heads on their shoulder. Those that spout nonsense are simply more vocal. That can usually be said about the adults who spout nonsense as well.

Honestly, what is needed is structure.
A few solutions...

Rules against roleplaying! Roleplayers should have one warning only, then be banned if they continue. There are ways to ban IP's so people cannot return unless they use a different computer. They will run out of computers I guarantee you. If they try to get an IP changer, that's illegal and the mods can report them to the authorities because it's hacker software.

More structured forums. "Spell Discussions" "General" "Miscellaneous" etc are too basic. It is hard for newcomers to find information when its all jumbled together with other newbies crying for help or older members ranting. If the mods created a "help" section, the quality of the other sections would improve and the other sections would remain purely information and debate the way they are intended

Also if there was actually a place for white magick users and black magick users, you wouldn't have as much clashing. We have "Wicca" but no black magick sect. Its unbalanced. I notice that whenever black magick is brought up, the poor person is jumped by fluffies. This site is open for discussion for all magick, so its unfortunate.

I have been a forum administrator for years and honestly, the best way to clean up a board is to create a place for people to say whatever they want to inside. I've called these rant rooms, warzone, lobby, you name it! It gets the job done. People go there and get it out of their system and the rest of the board is peaceful and enjoyable!

If the mods even picked just one of these suggestions, we would see improvement.
