justlikeyou,
Obviously you are not just like me, or anyone else on the site, as others give feedback to other people's poems (I just checked and you have not given anyone a single critique). This site is based on giving good critique just as much as it is about posting poetry, in fact even more so as most people will give three critiques for every piece of poetry that they post, since most people receive several pieces of criticism per poem posted. Although this is strictly enforced in the workshop forums, there is a general understanding that reciprocation is an overall part of this site. To be otherwise is unfair, and those who practice only taking are acting in a very selfish way. We would like to have you as a member, but not if you are only going to take. I know this has been explained to you in a PM and you currently have a 20% warning. Unless you comply and begin giving legitimate feedback, I will take down any future poems you post. If this sort of interaction (described above) does not suit you, there are plenty of vanity sites on the web. May I suggest allpoetry.com, it is also a free site and has no feedback requirement.
Best,

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
