Since some folks think quantity is more valuable to the site than quality, how about a forum titled "Role Play" and another forum titled "False Notions" and the Mods/Editors move posts like Growing Wings and all the fluffy spells to them?

Yes, indeed! However, the very point of forums is that anyone may give their opinion and/or point of view. Then others can discuss the themes; and maybe even argue about them. If all these ridiculous "kineses" were sent to the Fluffy Thread the kids who want to learn would learn nothing! A surprising number of people actually believe psionics are real! They have a right to their beliefs. Forums are good in separating the Chaff from the Wheat.
Although it would take a while, as there are so many fluff spells, it would be way worth it! Also, I noticed on the homepage it says ''all spells are checked for authenticity.'' Or something similar to that. I understand that there are a lot of spells on here, and obviously you can not check them all; but still, you shouldnt false advertise. Just a little note!
Very nice suggestion and Brysing has a point as well... but if the forum is titled "False notions" then those who want to learn, should stay away from it...
Stoni I love the ideas, and Brysing does hold a valid point. But facts known if this site ever "cleaned" up and only housed what could be argued as fact, its member list would plummet. Most come here to chat, post opinions, and look up spells. Site staff keep the member from killing each other and irritating Pet.
If you alter that careful balance no one would be here. Well in theory anyway.
Personally I don't think I would mind the member list dropping way down, if it meant talking to serious people. People who actually take there information and practices seriously instead of dealing with fluffy most of the time.
I couldn't agree more, and we all have pushed for that in the past. But I don't see that ever occurring. The site like most of the members it houses has "WOW" factor but that's about it currently.
