no, it doesn't really matter.... but it is confusing

Confusing, which I could help.

I think the voting system should just be removed, there are so many people complaining about downvoting etc that I feel it isn't worth it anymore.

It hasn't been worthwhile in ages, just ignore the darn numbers.

I think the voting system causes problems for certain poets. In my opinion, we should have a comments system. The number of comments an individual has means more than the votes they receive. With that, others would be interested to see why someone was given the vote they were given and would influence them to comment as well.

...If that makes sense. :S

Fallen.

I have to disagree with that Idea, Members can make comments on their own poems...this would be a flawed system.

Also, Comments are being abused now with out an award, imagine with one...it would be total crazyness.

Peace, Joe

I was thinking perhaps if it were made so you could only vote if you commented too, that way downvoters couldn't get away with it without writing some sort of comment, and if you have a valid reason for voting low then it's fine. I don't know if that makes sense... oh well...

Polly I think that is a very good Idea...and realistic. Good thinking =D *hands you a gold star*

Lol, definitely a better idea than mine Polly!

=D

I really like the idea

Don't get upset by down votes, concentrate on your writing and appreciate those constructive comments that are left by readers.

I have found out that the older my poems are the least vote or comments i get I haven't added any new ones in a while!!
