    I have to be honest. These one-word accolades that I keep randomly getting on my poems are extremely suspicious and akin to spam.

    I feel like people are leaving these unimaginative comments to get into the monthly contests for free, and multiple of these attempts are being exploited collectively to sway the outcome.

    I know this has been brought up, and that Admin is looking into this. I just feel compelled to bring this to the attention of honest writers, and to warn those who are trying to cheat others. There are eyes on you …
