Even that involves a tacit imposition of a subjective belief set on other visitors though. I would suggest that the simplest approach would be for everyone to show some consideration the beliefs of others, and to avoid behaving in a way that unreasonably impacts upon other people's enjoyment of a site. Not leaving non-biodegradable offerings would seem a reasonable expectation, as would the notion that people who do leave offerings should clear up the gathered detritus occasionally. Equally, a tolerance of some respectfully placed, non-destructive offerings would seem like a reasonable level of reciprocation. A little tolerance on both sides would go a long way.
PS. I'm not a leaver of offerings or a follower of neo-pagan mysticism.
