I've noticed that in the Poems section, it is particularly mentioned that we should 'beware' of criticism, whereas all other forms of writing are not preceded with a warning. I'm new to this kind of pattern, so can someone let me know why this is so?

It is that way as there has never really been any issues in the other areas of the forum to be honest.
In the poetry section there has been a number of outbursts to do with critique received by people taking it the wrong way.
So that is why the post was made in there. Maybe it would be a good idea to have it in the other sections of the forum, but I have never really seen the need for it anywhere else yet to be honest!

(Hope that helps)

Torana

(Psst. It's because all poets are secretly a little bit whacko.)

No, actually, there have just been more problems in that area than others, so that one was deemed the most worthy of a warning. The others have skimmed under so far, so...yeah.

That really helped Torana and Ivan. I just thought that maybe Poetry is some very disturbed form of writing :p Thanks for answering!

(Psst. It's because all poets are secretly a little bit whacko.)
VERY CORRECT!

It's a good caveat for any of the review rooms. But each description was written separately. I don't know if any particular history lead to that wording in that one place - it was written way before my time here began.

You are welcome anthraxx. Nah poetry is not that disturbed lol
But you are right Ivan, some of us poetry writers (me namely) are a little WACKO! lol jokes :D

Then why isn't there also a "no whips" warning?

Because there were, but she erased them with the whip...

Then why isn't there also a "no whips" warning?
That way, we'll have to fire Torana :) Thanks by the way, for the opinion.

What!? Fire me!? Oh my I feel very....upset all of a sudden!

I never deleted no whip warning thread! And and......*pokes tongue out and goes back to her friendly cup of coffee*

*oops off topic again :D sorry*

You have coffee now? And what does your new avatar say?

What!? Fire me!? Oh my I feel very....upset all of a sudden!

I do hope you did not take that personally. Forgive me if you did...

If you did not... I could really cook up a nice poem for you and your cup :redface: lol

And what does your new avatar say?

I *think* it says 'Heather the barbarian'.

nah I didn't. I thought it was funny really. And cook.....cup.....does that involve coffee cause I am fresh out hey!!!!

And cook.....cup.....does that involve coffee cause I am fresh out hey!!!!

...That really depends on the situation. If we're talking about Torana baiting they'll definitely be coffee. If we're talking about Torana hating they'll definitely be a whip after me. If we're talking about Torana loving they'll definitely be a 'Crazy' surname after me. If we're talkign about Torana firing...then they'll definitely be an angry mob after me. Pick?

hard decision really. It all sounds like a lot of fun to me :D

I forgot Torana slaying :cool: That is fun...

(I'm going now, talk to you later :)You all are soooo sweet)

Torana seems to hijack like every thread with her evilness and whips...

It's her dominatrix personality :p

I *think* it says 'Heather the barbarian'. yep, and it will until 11 AM GMT time tommorrow. :D
