The best poets are surely the best critics. They are the most important critics of their own work. If poemranker were blessed with any fine writers, that writers opinion would be more valuable than anyone elses. Therefore their voting on their own poems would give a truer reflection of how good the poem is. If the poet voting on his own work were not very good then the value his poems attained would be false. That is not a problem though because that person does not matter anyway.
