Good points, let's just clarify a couple, starting with 2b. Post count is utterly irrelevant and indeed resets periodically -- the only time it is important is when someone signs up and has to have a 3-moderated-post minimum. Those posts can be allowed anywhere but only count toward full membership if they are in one of the three critique forums (novice, mild or serious).
1c. Miscellaneous should not be the same as Fun. It was intended as a forum for experimental works, mode fusion etc, and poems that didn't really require critique but were still not "For Fun", which is supposed to be purely humorous. The only reason it isn't is because too few people are amusing...
For the record, I am absolutely 100% opposed to labelling poetry in themed fora. You do this, you get loads of action in the "adult" or "sex" sections, plenty of poems in "emo bullshit" and nothing that transcends categories.
