It has to be said- (and yes, has to do with poetry) - Amy Green's Blog

   One things must be said- every single time I have put on a contest there are those people who just throw stuff in as an entry that has NOTHING TO DO with the contest. Yes, I know sometimes the contests are difficult and can be hard to understand, and some people honestly enter (mistakingly) the wrong thing.
   Then there are those who are just... I don't know.. want to be heard no matter what?  Get a kick out of using up space? Whatever. Please do not do this people, it is really annoying. You are using up entries someone who cares could have used, not to mention you waste the time of the person putting on the contest.
   I get all kinds, not naming names, but I received an entry that was NOTHING but religious propaganda and had nothing to do with the contest.
Is there any way to delete this kind of crap? Please let me know if there is.
And people, please read guide lines when entering and try to follow to the best of your ability.
