I thin the time has come to put my foot down. We are not accepting posts that are sent knowingly over poems that have not had even a single comment on them. At least if you do not appreciate the poem, be honest enough and post that you are not feeling it. That is the whole idea. Otherwise I have resolved to delete such a post and have you repost it when you have been onsiderate enough to aknowledge other poets. It is not the MOD's job necessarily to comment on all pieces that come through because this forum is made up of a surplus of poets, so let us not be egotistic because this aint no battle forum but poetry, pure poetry. Let us help each other build.

:x Thank you

^^ I've gotta echo my blood Theme on this.
(So sorry for leaving you hanging brotha, life's really crazy right now... still tryna get my balance)

Finally found some time to log on, and i'm quite traumatised by the numerous posts that have been given only ONE response, if any at all... Wassup with that?
Fam, the rules we've put up are really not that challenging. c'mon. Things were going really well a minute ago... why are we slacking now? Please can we not compromise the high standards we've established.

bless

[quote name="antiklokwize"]Addictive soul [quote]* TO RECIEVE FEEDBACK, you've gotta GIVE FEEDBACK. Please give your crit on at least 2 pieces before you post your own...
Give your opinion on where somebody went wrong and how they can improve...

NEW RULE:

I noticed that Serious Jokers Ent has posted more than five poems in just two days, which is sorta flooding the forum and also taking away alot of attention from the other poems...

Can we keep the number of posts per week down to a minimum of four?
This rule won't be enforced until i get my fellow MODs' back up, so holla back fam.

sup sis
i agree with u 100% it does get too busy and some of the poems that poet send dont get any justice couse some peeps assume they read them.
and thats when u find poems with just 1 reply and guyz plz give feed back 2 the fllow poets just a reminder
by da way sje ur poems are great thats why u should give us some time to digest it

so its settled 4 poems per week 4 every poet oh will run it by theme where is every one else at what do u all think?
if poetry comes not as naturally as leaves to a tree, it had better not come at all...it should suprise by a fine excess, and not by singularity; it should strike the reader as a wording of his own hoghest thoughts, and appear almost a remembrance.

i agree with yall, just didn't think 'bout it before lol. that's why i went through allthe pages (damn yall got lotz of poetry on here) and commented on some poems that i found that no one commented on before like new birth and simon,adam and I. cuz they are great poems and they were already on page 6 or 7 so i knew no one was gonna read 'em. had to show some love tomake up for flooding lol

Just thought I'd remind everybody about the feedback system, coz the quality of feedback (or lack there of) at the moment is really slack:

**GIVE to RECEIVE**

And can we please not let the poetry battles take the spotlight... Let's not forgetwhat we're truly about.

I'm not here daily (anymore), but when I pass by I do try to read all new poems and comment on most of them. But there is indeed a huge lack of feedback. I see poems that have been viewed over 300 times and only received 3 replies??? I personally am always motivates, stimulated and inspired by any kind of feedback, positive or negative. In the beginning that I started posting, the feedback was more regular and that's why I really enjoy this place, but people seem to read and move on without any comment nowadays. I know there are exams, and the end of the year and stuff like that, but it has been like this for a few months, right?
This time, love doesn't hurt, nor is is complicated
