I believe that as long as the poet is able to take harsh criticism in stride and able to think over the feedback properly and objectively, he/she should post in the serious critique forum. After all, some people are really earnest in improving their poetry, and detailed critique will accelerate their growth. However, I do agree that some degree of self-awareness must be present. If it's a poem that the poet feels is not up to standard, he/she should either edit it first before posting, or post it in the the mild or novice section. For those who're not self-aware, like you said billy, pointing it out to them may be the best way.
