Featured Poems

I posted this in another topic here, but I guess it was the wrong thread.

I have several poems that have higher ratings (and higher number of votes) than those that appear on the featured lists. One of my poems was one the Nature & Environment Featured list, but it was knocked off by a poem with a much lower rating. Why is that?

That's what I thought first, but there's a poem on that Nature & Environment list that has been there much longer than mines was.

Editted to add: One of my poems, in the Life & Society section, it has a higher rating & more votes than a few poems on the Featured list, and that has never been on the list.

That's why I'm posting this here. If none of the mods see this then I'll just pm one of them.

It's no big deal, really. I'm just curious.

Mods? Mind settling this for me? Why is it that poems with more votes and higher ratings don't ever appear on the Featured Poems lists?

Yeah Scarlette....em....i'm a pretty boy who likes the attentions of a fine woman such as yourself...i could be persuaded to fix your little problem?

Nah i have no idea....but i'll find out for you.

I'm not exactly sure how those lists work either... I thought the time frame was a week... after a poem was a week old, it would no longer be eligible for the top rated recent poems...

but again, I'm not sure....

Dainz?? Can you help us with this??

I thought the same as Ann Marie x

Yeah, Ann Marie, I thought that as well... but like I said earlier - there was one poem on the Nature & Environment Featured List that was there for so long, while mines was only up for a few days.

AND, back to the other problem - a few of my poems have higher ratings and votes than any of those on featured lists, though they've never appeared on them.

but, like I said, it's no big deal or anything. Curiosity only killed the cat.

And Kevin, I'll give you anything you'd like... *wink, wink* heh.

Really anything?...em...let me think about that one now that i have your offer in writing....

I hope you are flexible.

just a little note on this subject from me - my poem in the featured dark poems page is at the bottom of the list right now even though it has the highest rating - perculiar

No need to call me God Bobby, and yes, like all the enemies of Daffy Duck, i am slightly...inco....whatever you said.

Scarlette....i want you to do the 5 tibetans.

I would consider doing the 5 tibetans, if I knew what that was.

Anyway, come on, ANY mod out there know the explanation to this?

I guess not... might want to check up on how your site is run. That way you may be able to answer some questions properly. Just an idea.

(this reminds me of an episode on Star Trek. The crew was on an alien ship, and they came across a massive device. They asked the aliens what it was for, and none of the aliens could answer. They just kept saying, 'well, it's important, so we need it'... and yet none of them knew what it actually did)

I'm sorry that none of us have the answer Scarlette...

I don't know if Janis is checking his email while he is gone or not, but I will email him and see if I can get an answer. And Dainz might be able to help, too.
