Comments of 100-130 characters now have a maximum rank of 3 stars. 130-200 character comments can be awarded 4 stars. 200 characters isn't really that long - just exactly as long as this paragraph is!
The goal of this is to encourage people to write longer, more meaningful comments. Authors love hearing details about how you felt reading their poem. Take a second longer and write something that is useful!
Edit: Added some more reasons and explanations. -
I'm excited to announce the 'beta test' version of Chatact, Allpoetry's newest sister site. It's targeted at role-players, with groups and journals being the main focus. There are contests too. Please be patient with any bugs Check it out!
-
The comment rating system has been updated again. Now you can rate a comment however many stars you like - that's up to you, as it should be.
The points given are based on the length, so a small (<100 letter) comment gets 1 point per star, medium gets 2 points, and long gets 3 points.
Points are given by the site, based on ratings, to encourage longer and more constructive comments. Intentionally "padding" comment length is not allowed and can get you in trouble if caught.

How to get reads on my poems by Tammy Knott, from Little EagleAllpoetry is an interactive community that relies on members to be active in commenting and reading each other's works. There are ways to feature and shameless promotion but they require points and points are earned by reading and commenting.
- We've been testing it for weeks, but now most of the bugs are ironed out and I'm excited to announce that allpoetry now supports Journals! Blog or write about your day to day life, things you're excited about, etc. Choose 'add' at the top, then 'add a journal' on the right side. Or just browse the journals at alljournal.com.

- Memberships have grown considerably in features. Therefore I thought it best to do a column on what each membership entails. You can also find comparisons on benefits of each of these memberships in the Store. You can reach the store by clicking the tab located at the top of your screen.
-
Poems by online users has replaced rewards as the default for when you click the 'read' link. I've also cleaned up the sidebar when browsing poems, and simplified the 'add a feature' page.
When making a comment, you can choose a poem of yours to ask the person to 'return the favor' by commenting. Seemed like it might make that a more social feature.
Journals now autosave drafts like they should, and a few dozen other bugs have been fixed. The chatroom hopefully will lag less now as well. -
Dirty Pretty breaks down by structure and theme.
The themes are surrealist where emotions embody objects.
Dirty Pretty format should add to the reader's understanding of the poem.
DIRTY PRETTY utilizes calligraphy.
It presents a poem by
*non-alpha numeric Characters,
*non-uniform Capitalization
*spacing (use to create blank spaces)
to shape poetry, to add pause and/or denote line hierarchy
*alternative spellings
*and other deviations (color ...)
to visually impact how the poem is seen and digested.
Here is a poem I wrote with these structures
I’m the glasscutter.
With a di(A)mond wheel g_l_i_d_i_n_g in Oil,
a single stroke /
opens a fissure ----------
I gently Tap beside the line
deepening the grooVe
until with a ~twist of the wrists~
I separate /
the glass as planned.
rhyme and rhythm help me keep reading through a long piece
decoration can mark passages
allowing me to approach the poem from more than one direction
-image detail encroaches towards tactile familiarity
these encroachments sometimes crawl into the structure
trying to burst through the page to make a connection.

The email notification system I mentioned in my last post is now live. Some of you will be irritated by the email you suddenly get, but hopefully some of you also find it useful. It's designed to be easy to disable - there's a link in 'my account' for notification preferences.
There's also been many bug-fixes, and some behind the scene upgrades which caused some random error messages over the last few days (but are now fixed). Go-poetry!
