Non-compliance with feedback requirements

[abu nuwas]

The Pig Pen could not exist without the interaction of its members. In return for the right to post your own poems and receive comments/ critique, you must attempt to provide honest and meaningful feedback on the poems of other members or interact in some other fashion on threads other than those you create for your own poetry.

Until now, we have not set any specific requirements in this area. However, after discussion among several members and moderators, a decision has been made to limit this selfish behaviour. Polite requests and not-so-subtle hints have been unsuccessful, so we are now implementing the following rule:

Any member who posts more than three (3) poems without contributing in a meaningful way to threads other than their own (whether poems or discussions) will have their threads locked for comments. These threads may be unlocked if the behaviour changes.

Meaningful interaction does not include short, generic comments on poems (e.g. "I really like this"; "great flow"; "I can relate to this" etc). This is a community. From now on, you will only get as much out of it as you are prepared to put in.

Ve haf...oh no, we have a v courageous German member....

But, although it is unlikely to apply to me, what does 3 poems mean? 3 in succession? What if a person has commented, then posts 3 poems?
