I'm not sure if there is anything like this already but I think it would be a neat idea to have a calendar of all holidays that can pertain to most of the Wiccan religions and have a special live chat set up where they can webcam chat maybe or a regular chat in general in which everyone in the same religion type of Wicca can talk to each other and celebrate or even have a mod or a experienced leader of the groups of religions of Wicca lead a ritual on an event? I don't know if I worded that all right but I hope I got what I mean across it would take a lot of work but if it's possible I believe it would lead people to stay in SoM and bring more Wiccans that are serious about their beliefs since if they can't preform a ritual themselves, (can't get the right materials or new), they can watch a mod preform it and have some sort of taking part of it.
Also for the chat section maybe instead of having the chat apart of the actually website maybe it should be a separate screen that will pop up on the website itself but you can drag it and resize it to the screen that you have.
And lately as everyone said before a Sent tab in the mail section and more forum sections like a tab discussion about element magick so it can state information that most people miss when their new that you can't control elements and other different sections of study areas. Also the forum in the covens maybe the covens should be able to be able to have more than one so it can make it more organized and easier to control?
Also this just came back too my mind there such be a little reading and quiz giving to new people on the site before they can even see the spells on the site to prevent them from believing the vampire and werewolf spells work and such kind of like the quiz we have to take to use chat..? I think that would help most of the people on here the new ones and the ones who know what they are doing so we wont get that much questions each day about which "vampire spell will work".
I think it would be tremendously helpful if comments were given on rankings, gags, and edit rejections. This would be helpful because it would allow us to grow and improve, rather than wallowing in a state of confusion and ignorance. Wouldn't have to be much, just a quick comment like "You got ranked up for your great Tarot article" or "Format this article better."
I would like to see SoM that has a ranking sytem that's set by a number of post's a member has, and if a member spamms the forum to get a rank you simple gagg them.
I think that having on each one of the members profiles, the bar that tells you how many points you have and how many points it takes to become a contributor, also show when your points are deducted, I think it will encourage, more people to take this more seriously.
Instead of gagging people completely so that they make a new account maybe there should be a timer and a message saying what they did wrong so they know and such and they website doesn't get clogged up with a bunch of gagged accounts that are unused since you can't do anything. And after a repented offense say after a certain number of times then they get kicked
