Re: I don't understand Poem Ratings..

When more than one person comments on your poem, the system puts down the average of the votes. Like, if you got a 7, 8, 9, 10, and 4, it would put down a 7.6.

our thoughts are part of who we are, never lose sight of who you are and what you think. Ratings are bullshit...

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
