- its rules on Reddit
This is a subreddit for constructive criticism and feedback on all types of poetry. Our primary goal with this sub is to ensure that every poem that is submitted gets a good amount of quality feedback. Please sort by 'new' to see posts that have little or no feedback.
All 4 rules of r/poetry_critics
- Critique two poems before posting your own
Every new poem you post must be accompanied by two more critiques. We have a bot that helps us identify users who are not contributing critiques but we still have human mods double-checking, so please do not think you can fool the bot by doing the bare minimum. [Learn the rules by which the bot works](https://www.reddit.com/r/poetry_critics/comments/emgrq4/more_community_updates_new_bot_small_relaxation/) and abide by them and you should be fine. - Make critiques substantive
Please do your best to make your critiques substantive. Critiques that only say "Nice," or "I like it" will not be counted. [Please see this post for basic critique guidelines.](https://www.reddit.com/r/poetry_critics/comments/dtw1oj/what_is_a_critique_a_quick_guide_to_giving/) To learn how to master giving feedback, [check out this post.](https://www.reddit.com/r/OCPoetry/comments/e8ietf/how_to_give_feedback_on_a_poem/) - Select a user flair that indicates your skill level before posting
[See this post for more information.](https://www.reddit.com/r/poetry_critics/comments/e8unl5/skill_level_flair_is_now_live_starting_1216_only/) Beginners have 0-5 years experience, Intermediates have 5-10 years experience, and Experts have 10+ years experience. Professionals derive some income from writing. If you cannot figure out how to set your flair, [please read this help page.] (https://www.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205242695-How-do-I-get-user-flair-/) - Be nice
This subreddit is for *constructive* criticism and feedback; overly negative comments will be removed and may result in a temporary ban. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, harassment, and other similar behavior will result in an immediate permanent ban.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
