I DO NOT GIVE LENGTHY NOTES ON MANY POEMS IT IS NOT MY PLACE TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR POEM IS NOT RIGHT OR IT IS NOT GOOD. I AM NOT LIKE THAT AND I WILL NEVER BE. I WOULD NEVER TELL ANYONE TO CHANGE THEIR POEM BECAUSE IT IS FROM YOUR HJEART. IF SOMEONE TELLS ME THAT THEY THINK MY POEM COULD BE IMPROVED I THANK THEM FOR THEIR POINT OF VIEW AND GO ON ABOUT MY WAY. FOR THOSE THAT KNOW ME ALREADY KNOW I AM NOT A CHATTER BOX. QUICK COMMENTS IS MY STYLE AND IF YOUR OFFENED I AM SORRY BUT THAT IS ME EITHER YOU LIKE IT OR YOU DONT. ANYWAY THIS WAS A VERY NICE CONTEST ALOT OF NICE WRITES. THANK YOU ALL FOR ENTERING AND TO YOU ALL I WISH I COULD OF GAVE EVERYONE HM'S.

Contest holder doesn't seem intent on fair judging. She only seems to be in a rush to post "This is a very nice write. Thank you for your entry best of luck to you xxxxx" on every poem she hasn't read and then keep her finalists up there. At least post a comment showing you've read the poems and given careful thought rather than shrugging them all off like they are a waste of your time.

If you dont like the way that I judge then please remove your poem you dont know me so I think you should keep your comments to yourself or Im me.

Many judges use uniform comments on the poems read so they can concentrate more on reading, and judging the contest rather then leaving a long comment. With her high volume of entries, it seems acceptable that she would do this, as to judge this contest as fast as possible. It seems as though you are just annoyed because she didn't put your poem in the finalists, which really is her own choice since this is her contest and she alone choses who wins. I have seen nothing but fair judging in this contest, and I believe that if you really thought it was unfair you would have reported it to the mods already. If you have any proof she hasn't read any the poems, please present it now. If you will notice the finalists have the same sort of comments. You could have had at least the shred of human decency to IM her with this complaint rather than blatantly bash her on her contest page. I am personally not IMing you with this, for the reason that if you do not have that decency, I will not have it for you either. Thank you for your time, and hope you shake off this bad habit of acting like a sore loser (though the contest is not even done).

Ok, if the reader doesn't feel somewhat relatable to your write and or interested, is it their fault they have nothing more to say than thanks for entering and good luck?! That is just ridiculous.. No one can honestly write a four star review on everyone's work, that's crazy, and if you are opposed to honest commenting then don't enter contests! seriously... sorry I think the judge did a wonderful job, great contest as well!

Thank you very much.

the Finalists do not have the same comments, it actually looks like she decided to read them. I don't think the contest was is rigged for the finalists to win, I just think she decided she was tired of the contest and posted the exact same message in everyone elses poem and decided to to keep the finalists.
It's funny to refresh the page after a minute and see 4-5 poems she all of a sudden "read" and see the same generic comment on every one of them. I may not be able to prove she's lost interest but I feel the comments are enough.
As for me IMing her, it's about the contest, everyone is involved, therefore I should write it where everyone can see. I have already pulled the poem even though the contest hasn't been judged. I'm tired of people holding contests and not reading the entries. I don't understand how I am a sore loser when the contest hasn't even been judged, and I complain about the contest holder not even having the decency to give everyone a fair chance and read the poems that some people have spent hours on. I don't give a shit if I am last place in a contest, it's probably just not what the author likes to read. However it massively pisses me off when they just skip right over it in their rush to be done with the contest.
Go ahead and try to call me a few more names, I'm just being honest and stating my opinion on what i have observed and what I feel is the truth. If the worst you can do is dare me to call the mods and call me a sore loser then I feel this just backs up my side. I can't prove you wrong, you can't prove yourself right.
Anyway I am done with this contest. I've been in so many where within 5 minutes of the contest opening the holder has chosen out a poem and kept it on the finalist list for a week and then gave it the gold once it ended. I just feel your tired of doing this contest so I'm not even going to bother anymore with replying. I'm sure my comment will be deleted anyway cause I proved a point.
Go ahead and call me a bunch of names now, I won't be replying to this. -

Go ahead and whine and cry remove your poem. That is your choice. You are the reason why contest are not fun. So what if I read and comment the same thing on the poems it does not mean I did not read them.If I want to keep my finalist list up for three weeks re open the contest I will. If you would look at my other contest I have judged and replied the same way and no one has ever complained about it before. But anyway im done with this I have never been unfair to anyone.

Oh, really? Perhaps she didn't like the poems, perhaps she was trying to save people's feelings? Hmmm? Though I do no condone saying "this is a nice poem" instead of constructive criticism, I can understand how she would not want to hurt feelings. Have you thought of it that way? I wasn't daring you to call the mods as you so inaptly put it, I was simply saying that if there was anything wrong with this contest, the mods would have been called in. Which does not back up your side at all in you look at it in a moderately intelligent manner. And you being a sore loser is my opinion, how does if feel to be called that like you called her contest unfair. Just as a warning, you are officially on my ignore list, I do not need to waste my time associating with people like you on this site. So please, don't attempt to enter any of my future contest, I don't need people like you entering them...
