Pestilent Poets.

There seems to be a lot of crude poets going around trying to degrade other poets lately. I've been gone for a good while now, but it was pretty awful when I left. I really hate to see newer poets drawn away from learning the art, because someone thinks they can go around and thrash other poets. I don't know if It's because a lot of the moderators in the poetry section left or have become less moderate, but it's really bothering me. They need help not vulgarity.

Is there anyway to stop this? Perhaps?

I think I know who Sigur is talking about, Silver. He has a point. So thanks for the advice.

Yep, the report function is a lifesaver; it sends an email with the link to the offending post out to every staff member, so someone usually sees it and deals with it within a few hours.
