Poem Hunter: Poems

I've been on the internet pretty much since its inception. Been publishing poetry since 1983. I've been on numerous poetry sites but Poem Hunter struck me as very strange.

I set up my account and profile, which were free. I uploaded a photo and posted a first poem. After over five hours the poem was still "pending" and because it wasn't visible to anyone I didn't expect a rating til it was. I'm always loathe to permit anything other than reviews. Rating systems can be abused. I saw other poets receiving five stars and I KNOW through vast experience that every poem I post is worthy of posting. Many have been previously published and NOT in cottage of vanity publishing. I recently came back onto the Poem Hunter site and saw my poem still "pending" yet SOMEONE or some folks had already put my rating to 2.33. Now, that's just venomous because my poem hadn't actually been SEEN by anyone. I'd been shafted in ratings simply on how I LOOK or because well, I have no idea why nor do I wish know or participate on a site that allows such behaviour!
Hardly an atmosphere for creativity...hardly a welcome... hardly human. So, I went to try and fix the problem via adjustment of profile so I didn't receive sub human idiotic ratings simply because those giving them are online nut jobs who enjoy knocking people down... but...there is no further facility for me to do the update for rating score. So I deleted my account. Ive won numerous awards in poetry...had many published in several regions of the the world and every State in my Country. I deleted my account and advise anyone not to patronize the site as members, especially novices...such obviously and immediately appalling onsite behaviour would tend to crush the confidence of newbies and up and comers. These sorts of sites have declined since day one. Poem Hunter is good for reference and reading but I would NEVER recommend anyone take up membership on a site that knocks an artist down before he or she has even posted a single piece. The time delay alone in a state of "pending" is disheartening. Add the cruel ratings from artless, sub human dropkicks who haven't even SEEN my works...and I was out of there in an instant.
