Well your original question was
"if you had to draw up a list of rules for interacting with sites what would it be? And what are the reasons for each 'rule'? "

Basically only two rules are needed aren't they? Try not to damage the site and don't spoil the next visitor



But to not damage it you have to understand how not to damage it, surely? And that's more what my post was about the whys and consequences. Otherwise we'd all stay away entirely *or* unintentionally do things to harm a site that we don't understand harms it.


Exactly. Obviously the people leaving all the offerings at Swallowhead Springs think they are doing something nice, mystical, magical. Otherwise they wouldn't be taking the trouble to cart the stuff out there. They don't consider their Mystical Magical Offerings as spoiling anything. Jeeze.

As for physical damage, that's been fairly well covered in the posts above. I suppose the essence is to err on the side of caution. A light glancing kiss probably can't hurt. Other than that, leave it be?
