Site Updates

It'd be pretty cool if Tumblr and Instagram could be linked on profiles like Facebook and Twitter can. It would also be nice if the chatter rules were updated. Nowhere does it formally state, "brb" and, "lol" are exceptions to text speak rule. It probably should. Also, I would like more than anything for and edit feature. I chronically fiddle with my posts. Which means for me, copying, pasting, and deleting the old one over and over again until it's just right.

I'd suggest updating the Terms of Use by acknowledging the use of private messaging platforms like Discord and Amino for coven communication, interaction, and management. Stating whether or not it is appropriate to use these platforms with coven names/likeness and whether or not the same rules apply to these platforms as they do on SpellsofMagic (i.e. language, spam, etc.) The current Terms of Use don't specifically state that these platforms cannot be used for managing a coven community (i.e. sharing information, group messages, voice chat, etc.), nor does it state that SpellsofMagic rules apply to these platforms either. It would be nice to get some clarification on what is or what is not allowed when it comes to this topic.

I would like to see a chat feature that would also members to be able to have their Magickal Name displayed in their username. The feature could have a filter to keep swears and inaproperate stuff from being displayed. For example make it something like /nickname username MagickalName then the chat would display

Thank you

I'd be interested in seeing a monthly site newsletter. We could have an herb and crystal spotlight, beginner tips, a spotlighted article and member, etc.

I'd like to preface this by saying it's not about me but about some others I've encountered here.

Would it be possible to add a "non binary" and/or a "private/perefer not to answer" gender option? I've met some people that would prefer that... they're non binary and they're not represented.

The ability to edit forum posts would be good. Also, members should be able to delete any spells, articles, etc that they post.

I often want to like posts that I read. It could be another option to respond to each other as a community should, when one of us speaks, without having to write it in a post. It may also help those new to the site and new to the information we offer, navigate and learn what is good info and what is not. I love the monthly newsletter aspect and I often thought an encompassing one for the site with each coven contributing a little something on the regular would be another good way to get everyone communicating across the site. I know we are many aspects from all over the world coming to this place to learn and grow together. We welcome all but must help to guide each other as we communicate.Being diverse and teaching each other is how we foster acceptance and understanding between our differences.

Looking forward to the changes to come, may the site and all whom have been and will be apart of it receive many blessings<3

I worry personally with members having an ability to delete their spells and articles; that especially if they contribute much; mass information may be deleted. Along with this what if I genuinely love a member's spell, only to look for it and find it gone?

I very much agree with an ability to like posts. It may help further validate members information and may be another way to indicate members whom are helpful and respectful whom may not have a rank otherwise.

The main suggestion I wish to add is that the spacing issue across browsers is fixed if possible. Recently I have tested this glitch across chrome, brave, a browser with the word kiwi I forget the name. The next I intend to try is opera. I believe this issue may still happen with firefox as well but am not certain. To note I am on mobile currently. I do not use a desktop at the moment.

I'm not sure if this has been suggested but perhaps an off topic subforum. As it stands I am aware this is a site to discuss witchcraft; yet I wonder if an off topic forum containing threads involving, movies, music, hobbies and the like; may promote activity or help members get to know each other in a different way.

I'm not sure if Petrarca will see my comment but I think he should add the feature for folks on this site to delete their own spells. I believe it would help "declutter" old, fluffy, unreliable spells.

I don't know if it could be feasible, but I think it might help deter some of the spammers unloading a dumptruck worth of posts all at once if there were a cool-down implemented in the forums, like X posts per Y time then have to wait a few minutes or similar -- even like two minutes. A lack of ability to post could turn some bots away, and perhaps constant attempt to still post during the cool-down would simply elongate the duration of the cooling off period. It could also help save some bandwitch (ha!) OK, bandwidth ... when an enthusiastic poster also has a lot to say.
