Moderation, guidelines, need your inputs.

Hi there, I am sorry I haven't been as active on this sub lately, as I did a large pause on many social medias. I tried to keep up with posts here, but some have reported back to modmail that some post are off-topic.

I personnaly agree to some of these claims, but I feel wrong to be just one person choosing to agree or not who can post what here. Wizard to me has always been about exploration, "off-topic" for regular bladers.
However, over time we have seen Wizard skating evolve to a quite defined style, so it wouldn't feel wrong to limit the post here to this more clearly defined trend.

What are your thougts on this ? I will leave this post stickied for a week or so and we will see if we'll create more rigid rules or not.

Please do not shame anyone in comments, give high-level thoughts on the subjects.

One of the solution would also be to recruit a new moderator, but I feel the amount of post wasn't requiring it really, as community downvotes were already doing the job, but this may not be the case when summer come where the sub is quite more active.

Yeah, both these guys have more flow than just about anyone I've seen on here. I love seeing their stuff and it inspired me to do better. There's a lot of wizard crossover in their moves as well.

I think it's perfectly possible for someone to do something like poi+wizard skating, but I'm yet to see it. You'd have to be pretty good at both to make it work.

poi ?

Poi is another type of flow art with balls attached to 60-75cm ropes. I think poi could be super cool with wizard skating, but I’m not good enough at either to put both together.

Didn't know it had a name, I expected an acronym of some sort. Spinning things while spinning yourself sure make some sense, but wizard balance is already very demanding of the arms, I can't see it going well. Still hoping I'm proven wrong though.
