Oh yes, and another appendix to the intro:
Poemranker, not Poetranker. Certainly take into account the poet's style, if they have a favourite, and other aspects which will help you understand better the poem. But don't score according to whether you like or dislike the person.
Scoring: a good vote for a good poem speaks for itself. But if you're going to leave a low vote, it would be nice if you gave a reason for voting low, and preferably suggestions for improvements.
And please take the time to properly read each poem. Try to work out metaphors and messages. Don't just skim the piece. You wouldn't skim a musical score, would you?
