I'm in that dilemma now. A poem in Misc sparked a poem. So as not to hijack that thread I posted mine in a new thread in Misc. Then after begging for crit I reread the rules which said critical is allowed but Misc is for poems not requesting it. Was just thinking of asking quix for advice on moving it to a workshop (worthy of people's time or not} or just leaving it be.

So yeah, the forums are a little slippy slidey but do I think it is of great import? Not really, convince me otherwise.

I do think newbs that post in fun and misc do it because either they have not given crit or don't necessarily want it.

yah, I also think sometimes people aren't sure what exact level of feedback they are looking for so the basic-mild-intensive acts as a barrier, not as a tool

I wanted everyone else to chime in first but essentially, I think what people want is:

1. A forum for feedback
   
2. A forum for non feedback
   

And for the feedback forum it should always be understood that it is to the best of the person's abilities (some people probably don't feedback in intense because they are worried they don't have the level of feedback to offer)

What do you think?

also, I am not even talking about the newbs - they follow the general intent the most.  Long time members always end up just posting in Misc and then when I ask if they want feedback they say yes.

 I remember Tom ragging on me for not posting a poem in intensive, my response being that a crit with just one point could be the vital. On the other end a critique that’s too intensive could cause someone to flee. Maybe tags in the thread title: Mild, intensive or 
any. ????

yah, maybe, but to what purpose.  I can't imagine someone requesting intensive being upset if they only received a minor bit of feedback
