Terms of Service

1) Above all, Poet Share is a fellowship of poetic goodwill intended to nurture the creative spirit through support and encouragement. We ask that you maintain a respect for creative differences, and for differences in opinion. At no time should any member disparage any other poet, poetry site, its management or members. Repeated offenses of flaming will result in a Warning.

2) We ask that you not post more than 2 poems per day in any one board. This may be increased in the future as staff increases to accomodate need.

3) We ask that you please take the time to read other poets' work, and to comment on 2 poems in the same board for every new work you post. The more poems you comment on, the more others will be likely to leave feedback on your work. It also helps build a sense of community, which we are nurturing here.

4) We reserve the right to remove graphic pictures, inappropriate comments, and/or entire threads at our discretion. This applies to any and all material posted on the site. Repeated posting of graphic pictures will result in a warning. (See Warnings explained below). What qualifies as too graphic? If you have to ask about it, it probably is.

5) Explicit/Mature poems should always go in the Mature board, with the exception of entries for the weekly Prompt, which must be properly tagged "Mature". If they are found posted elsewhere they will be moved to the Mature board and you will receive a PM telling you so. Repeated posting of Mature material in other Poetic Endeavor boards will result in a Warning.

***3 Warnings will result in a two week account suspension. Further warnings may result in banishment.***

6) You retain all rights to your poems upon posting them in the forums. Please post only your own work in the Poetic Endeavors boards. Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will result in immediate banning of the member guilty of plagiarism. Also, keep your own copies of your poems!! This site is hosted on Proboards for free. Disasters could happen and servers occasionally crash. Poet Share Forums is not responsible for lost work!!

7) Derogatory comments or harassment directed at any group based on sex, race, creed, religious affiliation, orientation, disability, nationality, (or any I missed) will be deleted and the member marked with a Warning. Don't do it again. I mean it. I'm a nice guy but I take EEO very seriously.

8) Failure to conform to the Terms of Service may result in suspension of an account or banishment as determined by the Administrative staff. As a free service, we also reserve the right to refuse service or terminate an account at any time as we deem necessary.

These Terms Of Service may be revised at any time as we see fit.

Now have fun and get posting!! All submitted items are Copyright © to their original author. These Forums are not responsible for your lost or stolen work. You are. Keep copies of your work. Anyone found plagiarizing will be immediately and forever banned with extreme prejudice!!
