That's my own preference too, and I agree with Missy on the exception being the ones where we nominate poems & authors.
We do need the vote option , regardless though, primarily for the comps that get abandoned, host goes MIA. People gave their time & effort to write an entry, so there has to be a way to assign a winner if the host bails, and the vote is it.

I find the judging much more objective on the "All poetry" site together with personal credits and critique from Kevin the principal. All the contests are judged by the setters. A refreshing change from the institutional rules of the DU. Sad to say I is now my preferred platform

Can my entry in the Let Me In Musically comp please be scrubbed. I care little for winning owt, but if the host can't be @rsed to hang around, then why should other DU members be prepared to do their job. Diolch. Rob

Can you just delete the poem on your account? It normally removes it from the contest if it’s linked, but I might be wrong 🤷♀️

^ Quite happy for the scribble to remain amongst my tatty poems NS. Just don't want it to be considered as an entry in the comp. It would be a good compromise if the host had to stipulate whether they would be judging themselves.

I Can't delete it now that the Comp is in vote status-- can't see which one is yours .
If you haven't deleted it yet from your page , might be best to leave it, in case there were votes for it already-- not sure what it does to the rest of the entries as far as vote tally, when something is removed.

Please please stop what you are doing and go vote in the New Member of the Month comp for November!!
And then if you’re feeling rowdy nominate a new poet or two for the December New Member comp! 😁😁
