Everyone is allowed to post on this forum. However, please keep all comments on the topic at hand.

<b>Starting New Topics</b>:
You may start a new topic whenever you post a new poem. You may also have one thread dedicated to your writings only. As well, if someone posts a comment to your topic and you do not wish it to be there, please send me a mail and I will fix it ASAP.

As well, to insure the stability of this community - <i>comment on someone elses poetry before posting a new topic</i>. I can't stress this enough. I will start locking your topics if this continues to happen. This isn't a 'oh look at me I write poetry' community. This is a community that shares with others and receives constructual comments.

<b>On Commenting</b>:
Please, please, please keep comments on topic. If you need to say something random, use the General Chat section - that's what it's there for.

As well, be kind in commenting. Do not say 'this poem sucks' or 'my baby sister writes better poetry than you'. Think before you post 'Will this help the poet or encourage them to write more?' If your answer is no, then don't comment - There are some exceptions to this rule of course, but please be kind in your comments. Any unrulely actions will be dealt with in a strict way.

<b>Other</b>:
Be sure to read Poem of Quotes <a href="/toa.php">TOA</a> for additional information.

Guys - You must realize that YOU are the community. If you want this to be a place where you comment on others works and post your own poetry, then do it yourself as well.

There are many poems now without comments - comment on them. Otherwise this will no longer be a community.

Please comment and talk to others.
