Please do bump any poems like that -- thanks Rowen. There are thousands of poems on the site and old ones deserve attention too. I have little to add to billy's rant because we've been over the same stuff so many times, and yet there are always people who want to take advantage of others without bothering to get involved in the site itself. We mods have a few names for those types... but the one that keeps coming up is "attention whores". Leaving a one-line generic comment on one poem just so you can post your own is NOT how it ought to work either. If you don't feel up to giving a detailed critique, at least leave some honest thoughts to show that you have read the poem and genuinely considered it. If you can write poetry, you can bloody well read it. It's not difficult, it's basic good manners.
Having said that, seeing new people who do use the site as we intend it to be used gives me many warm fuzzies. Thank you to Rose, Luna, cidermaid and anyone else I've missed who has recently joined and is playing the game as it should be played.

It could be worse
