Site Rule #3

Are we allowed having the poem style in the title? This might be a dumb question, but I would hate to see any of my poems deleted for that reason.

I have visions of a thousand teenage girls franticly editing poem titles....

I can see it too Bret, that's to funny!

LOL Bret's comment put a wicked smile on my face...

But seriously, sometimes i want to report THOSE poems rather than the plagiarized ones...grrrrrrr

//Ari\\

hahahaha!

*checks frantically through my poems*

what about mine, it's called "To My *Friends*" cuz you can't put the little (") in titles so i used the stars instead to emphasize the fact that i'm being sarcastic...???

LOL! I don't think I have any like that...cos I hate people who do it...but I have one that has '-'s to emphasize (sp?) a word...does that count Bobert? :-)

we can keep the word resived right, i know i asked in another forum of this topic but i don't think it's been answered yet... unless i looked over it and didn't notice... but it's a good rule lets just hope people follow it!

Funny how it seems all of the top rated poems on the front page break this rule...

~Ciao Lipton

lol i just realized that i have another poem that has those little (") in the title and the one with the stars was old so it musta not used to let you...but okay thankies! going to change it now...lol

I have another question. :-).

What if I had a poem dedicated to a certain person...for example, if I have one to my sister...and it was titled, lets say: "I love you. [Kaitlyn]" ...Would that by any chance be breaking that rule? I'm just afraid of losing my account...let me know, please and thank you. :-).

-Mortie.

well, Mortie... my opinion is, no, the poems with [names] added like that are not in violation. (I guess Janis and Dainz have the final say on that though).

Things that would be in violation are:

~*~*~Poem Title~*~*~*~

Poem Title (long, but true please read)

*******Poem Title*******

Poem Title (Please Rate and Comment) < that violates 2 rules: bringing attention and asking for votes/comments

Poem Title (THIS IS NOT MINE)

**Although I thank the people that put that in the title, because it makes it easy to search for plagiarized poems!!! LOL

"Poem Title (THIS IS NOT MINE) " ha ha ha ya it makes your job much easier!

~Jacklyn

MWAHAHA

So...just a question...since these are in violation...are members of the site allowed to report them? Or shall we leave it up to the discretion of the Mods?

//Ari\\

well, according to the first post, Bob is giving them 2 weeks to get rid of the extras. After that point, by all means report them!

Score...I'm almost excited! Lol.

MWAHAHAHAHAHA

I will do. :) Field day for Ari ahahahaha....

//Ari\\

Lol! This shall be fun...:'-)

-Mortie.

no more advertising!!!

~Jacklyn

again, the final answer is up to Janis and Dainz... but I would say if it is an extension of the title or the name of the person it's for, then you're fine.

I guess I should ask their opinion on the titles of the series poems I have.

Gage Series #1 - Just Three years

Wow. You guys are really enforcing these things now arent you.

I remember when P&Q was as loose as... well... something very loose.

I'm tired. Leave me alone :(.

I don't understand why that is such a big deal...

It's a big deal because it is against the rules...

About time something happened...

You go, Bob...

.............

Isn't the two weeks OVER NOW?????

ARRRRRG *grabs the sun and revolves it around the world as fast as she can so time will pass faster*

//Ari\\

I just don't really don't get why it has to be a rule. Maybe people want their poetry to stand out by giving it stupid titles like that. Who cares? Are we going to start telling people to not use catchy titles for their work anymore because it stands out from the rest of the poems?

It's about creativity and originality. Not how many CAPS THEY CAN PUT IN THEIR TITLE or what kind of *()#Decorations#()* they put in the title.

*Using decorations/symbols within the title is very different from having a creative title.

Sooo...

I see it as a valid rule.

//Ari\\

Take this poem for example:

http://www.poems-and-quotes.com/slang/poems.php?id=470598

Lookie at the title. A smiley? A request inside along with the smiley?

Ewwww

//Ari\\

HAHAHHAA :P

//Ari\\

I can not change the title of one poem called screwless..... Sorry I tried, but it is still in caps...

---Sher

MY EYYYYYES!!!!!!

.........

I just switched from zenhex.com then logged on back here...never realized how BRIGHT poems and quotes was from other sites...owww

Anyways...September 6? *marks calender* MWAHAHAHAHA

//Ari\\

it is in the explicit catagory so the system will not let me make any changes

http://www.poems-and-quotes.com/author.html?id=94697

all her poems have Plz read in the title...

will you delete every single one=))==)=)=)=)=)=)

yay=)

I have pointy ears..Can Janis enable me to delete poems?=)

I have much spare time=)

LOL

Go just plain me

You should get comments and people to read it cos they want to not cos the title says to!

-Lyd

First of all i wouldn't ever do that. I just don't see a huge deal in it to where you get kicked off the site for it.

It annoys me- stupid pathetic *shakes fist madly* but yeh- at least something will finally happen about it.. ahhh field day- cant wait!

Angelina,

Wooooo. If we get kicked off for being lame, half of us would be kicked off, I would be the first for being lame! haha LAMO

I know it's a rule, but I think it is an unnecessary one. So it's a rule because it's annoying and makes poems stand out? If anything it makes people not want to read them and there's a lot of annoying things on this site. Such as some peoples poetry, and some peoples user names.

I just don't see the need in kicking people off the site for it. Just ignore it or forget about it. It isn't even a huge problem.

competitions have already happened in poetry clubs but they were fun.

but back to topic i agree that we shouldn't beg people to read our work. plus it's so annoying
