Website Banned:
An entry in my websites' guestbook caught my attention, and I ultimately had to reach out and both ban and blacklist the signer and website.
The thing is this; in the guestbook I leave available the option for visitors to list their website url. I see this as a form of interaction for pagans to reach out to other pagans. In the past three years, I've only had to delete two entries for openly promoting commercial websites. There has in the past been questionable website postings to the extent of various covens being "same-sex" only orientated. These I have let pass in their ways. If their beliefs are confined to the level that one has to be one sex or the other and only recognize either goddesses or gods, well, that is their beliefs.
But this early mornings actions were for much more severe reasons. The signer posted a "social" website url which bypassed the sites' legal sign-in page. Anyone clicking on the website icon in the guestbook was taken directly to a profile page within this site, and thereby allowing entrance to other profile pages. The problem with this is that the social site is gay male orientated. Postings and pages were loaded with both full nudity; sexual content and video sexual activity. To be blunt, I found NOTHING pagan orientated on this site. What I did find through various resources was that this appears to be a common practice amidst some members of this site, to openly promote profile pages for viewing. Considering the content of this site I also question why the site itself allows members to openly direct link their profiles without having a redirect to their so called legal warning and sign-in page.
Anyway, now that I'm done venting :) The individual person, the IP, and the website have been banned and blacklisted from CastleSolitudeArts.
CastleSolitudeArts is a pagan website which welcomes pagans from all paths. Be thee wiccan, neo-pagan, traditional, nature based, or whatever in your spirit path, your choice is what you believe is within your inner spirit. I consider CastleSolitudeArts to be a safe site for pagans, and will not allow the promoting of what I came across this early morn.
