we need a forum for beginners.

[milo]

we don't have enough mods for one on ones really. and we're not keen on having more than what we've got, milo's posts are prolific and lengthy because he has no other job in general we can only learn from doing, to stop people giving crit/feedback because they aren't of a certain level would hinder their chance to learn. we learn by reading and doing. trauma makes a poet strong, if their traumatised often enough they'll learn how to cope with feedback. a poorly done poem is a poorly done poem, to tell a poet any different would be the unkindest cut we could inflict on him.
we can certainly look at some of the other things though. personally i hate restricting poets who want to try and improve by make them post a hundred poems/posts, in general the new registered forum works well enough even if an odd few slip through the cracks.

thanks for the input :J:

I think there was some confusion raised because i brought this post back from the dead, it is over two years old!!

i just wanted to see how many people would vote to feed billy to a dragon.

As for a minimum number of posts, it is a good idea in practice but I would be afraid it would keep some members that are already at an advanced point in their poetic journey from joining and participating and that would be a severe loss to the sight.

Also, i do have a job, i am there many, many hours. The confusion arises due to me not actually accomplishing any /work/ while I am there (here actually right now)
