and I regard it as fatuous and meaningless. Some members want to post every day. So they have to post one minute after the 24 hours. So their posting time gets later and later. They would like 23 hours.

The reason I disregard this is that anyone posting every day is clearly not using Neopoet for it real purpose. In that time how do they get feedback, act on it and give feedback to others?

Screw them.

I think you're complaint is valid, but small. You have to draw the line somewhere. Nothing ever works perfectly. wesley

I don't entirely agree with this one. I feel no post made on the site should be automated. Scheduling posts just doesn't do it for me.

Each one should be uniquely posted, so before the poet adds another poem (s)he can take a look at any responses to previous work posted. Chances are, if this is implemented, I won't use it. It's just my opinion.

I think that moving the time limitation to once every 23 instead of 24 hours would be a better alternative than implimenting an autopost. Suppose somebody autoposts a few days worth of mediocre poems then suddenly writes a poem he/she knows is better than the scheduled posts? Then they would have to wait Days instead of hours to post their superior poem. So yes to the 23 hr. post limit and nay to autoposting.............stan

The posting of poems on stream is fine as it is, Auto post NO..
I find that the reminder that I posted yesterday is fine I just leave the piece on Desktop till the time is right, or I remember to repost...
Auto posts ???? well if I am that needy, I have a reminder thing on my comp I would be forced to use that lol. Auto post is not needed.

There are a million reasons to believe in yourself,
So find more reasons to believe in others..

I cannot come close to composing a poem a day, every day. One day it may be three or four then I might not have another worthy thought for a week or more. A one a day limit seems like the simplest compromise but I agree with William and Ian, no auto-posts. This benefits the poet by affording him/her the opportunity to review at the point of posting, saving potential embarrassment.

Definitely not.
Give this to the AC for a vote or maybe even a referendum.
Anyone posting daily is clearly not workshopping or critiquing.

"21 other sites have invited me" I do not mean that in a sarcastic way at all. I could not even name more than half a dozen poetry sites, never mind twenty one. Again, no sarcasm but does that not keep you pretty busy? How on earth do you keep track of the main contributors to all those sites? I am sure I could not. One final question. I won't ask you to name it but do you have a favourite site or do you like them more or less equally? Another question just occurred, do you mostly use the same alias or different aliases for different websites?
