where newbs can acclimatise before plucking up the courage or acquiring the skills to post in serious crit. it maybe that we need a forum that that acclimatises them before posting in mild crit. a sort of holding forum.
the poll is to pick one of the options and post here how to implement it and what sort of rules. your answers will be used purely as a guideline.
i think if you merge some of the threads as we have already done we can make room for a newbs forum.
the poetry practice can go in Miscellaneous Poetry and Prose forum so it becomes; Poetry Practice, and Prose Forum: i'm sure the prcatice threads can be stickied when needed so they stay at the top of the forum
if we start a beginners forum we can also set up an easier practice thread for the newbs, IE; create a poem using these end rhymes; etc.
i'd suggest we pick out one aspect that we think could be improved and direct them to a poem in the reference section as an example; it would be hard work for the mods but it would hopefully get them reading proper poetry.
