greatpoetry

Hello again. The tags system has been implemented starting today. We will pilot it for two months and, so long as it is working well, we'll continue using them. A great many of the tag list are contemporary poets, mostly American. It's possible that some well-known greats have been omitted, especially from the foreign circles. If you would like to have a poet added, please leave a comment here and I will update the tags periodically. Because of the way that the tags have to be set up: separated by commas, I couldn't categorize them by last name first. Unfortunately they will be listed alphabetically by first name, which is inconvenient, but until they modify the way that tags operate, I'm not going to be able to change that very easily.

Finally, I banned quite a few sock-puppet accounts from this community. Once I started looking at IP addresses, I found three addresses that were linked to several different accounts, and the remaining accounts that I banned were apparently "fake" accounts associated with the the initial three IP address accounts. If you were banned by mistake, please direct an email to me and I will evaluate the situation. If we continue to have problems with trolling by persons with enough time on their hands to manufacture endless fake accounts, I have no problems switching the membership to require moderator approval in order to join.
