Not a dating site

I don't think the issue is about our faces. I put a picture of my face because is my profile picture and that's what I do in any page I have a profile into. I think the real problem is that this, as I understand it, is a page to read and learn about, let's call it, spiritual practices. If they want to date someone they should go on a dating site.

And I am agreeing with you. Just block anyone that says anything about dating or flirting or whatever, and then you can report it to a mod.

It depends honestly. Some says they like RP and well.. the more intense kind of stuff. But in generally one should have in mind to learn when coming here, that i do agree on.

Yes, this is very frustrating. I was conversing with a friend about past lives... and someone said they were in love with me! The fakes on this site are ridiculous!

Men are biological swine, but women can be that mentally. Not saying it is female fault. Just saying guilting one isnt true, but in this case its the truth because lack of knowledge on biology and stuff on opposite sex can make you more weaker to triggering your biological hormones, just as women who can be materialistic biologically of seeking mates in terms of their own biology of wanting stuff as most women usually do.

But its either way bad

I think we should be able to have our photos up without being hit on. When people are applying to be in a coven, all the priests and high priestesses ask to see a profile photo and something about yourself. When we trust to put up our photo why are so many hiding behind an avatar. and with no personal info. Seems a bit like a double standard.

I personally wouldn't mind giving out my full name since i have had some bad experience so it wouldnt really hurt my reputation. But i think being polite and good is a good virtue no matter what.

You can consider that when you meet people irl you wouldn't act as much as you do on the internet with the massive freedom. The problem is some think its a reward to be evil to one another. Although not meaning to offend satanists, but just on a general basis i mean.

It's problematic to say that people are biological swine based on their biological sex. It's also problematic to think that putting a photo of our faces up instigates vulgar replies because then the blame is on the person being harassed and not the harasser.

Also, when coven leaders are asking for a profile image, most don't mean actual photos of peoples' faces because we as a community realize that some people are not comfortable with that for their own valid reasons. What people typically are asking for is having pretty much any image on an applicants profile because that, in combination with an applicants biography, gives covens a clue as to who a person is, how they conduct themselves, what they dis/like, and overall, if they would be a good fit with the other members. It also shows effort on the applicants' parts to actually be a part of the community.

Honestly the best thing to do towards having the community you want is to starve what you don't want (by blocking or simply ignoring problematic members) and contributing what you do want (by interacting with people on a more occult/magical/spiritual level). If we all do this, it is likely we will move towards the kind of community a lot of members want; even if we want different things, at least the problematic behavior would subside some.

I didnt say the harraser is excused. You shouldnt do it in general and learn from the mistakes. The problem is people are different, you cant change biology but you can learn from it.

That's starting to sound a lot like the "Boys will be boys" rhetoric that really needs to die off, but my second point in the first paragraph wasn't specifically aimed at you.
