Moderators...

I am not sure what you can do about this, but there is a person, named Untouchable, who keeps rating the poems of the members of our group (read "Serious writers much wanted") 1 all the time...

She does actually leave a quite long comment, but always ends up with a 1. Read for instance the comment she made for my latest poem "The River".
I do find some things in there quite insulting.

And check out Chris' poem "Down the Hebrus".

She gave a long comment, but rated it 1, and said that it sucked. I know that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it is, as I see it, obvious that she, no matter how good the poem is, rates it 1 and tells the writer that it sucked.

There is no doubt that she has judged the poems before even reading them. If I may say so, Chris' poem is a most excellent piece of poetry.

I ask you therefore, on behalf of at least quite a few, to do something.

This site does not need people like that.

no, Mods can't do anything about it, unless you actually use the "complain" button, but that will only get rid of the comment.

And, as was said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don't know that Janis will deem it "malicious" voting. Be he and Dainz will see this and we will see what they say.

I thought you had this penalty thing going on???

Don't you???

Well...

This site is by far the best of it's kind I have yet to see, but, as Chris wrote, there are so many idiots here. I'd gladly leave if anyone could show me it's peer...

Sadly, though, no one can.

Not that I hate everyone in here. There are quite a few great guys and girls here too (you know who you are)

Haha, no matter where you turn Chris, there'll always be idiots making funny faces back at you. Ignore the stupid ones and try and teach the ignorants ones. It is because we live in a free society that we live on the ideal that everyone is equal... so we can't just drag these people off and shoot them. I mean, c'mon, we have one for a president (no offense to any Bush supporters *cough*). Anyways, the mods can only step in when a rule is broken. Sadly, being intelligent isn't one :-/
