Question: When you read a poem here that has nothing going for it, do you comment or just move on!?
Are we helping the helpless by leaving them sans help!? Do we risk igniting a troll-fuse if we give them a poor grade!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I do not comment!. I do not hurt!. I do not consider myself a teacher!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I dealt with a troll for months because I gave what I thought to be constructive criticism!. If the poem is hopeless, I move on without answering!. If I think the poster is serious, I try to find something positive and then offer a suggestion, but most of the time, I move on!. I never answer questions like "rate my poem" or "I'm only 15, so no criticism, please!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

Since (in my case) it would be nearly impossible to read all!.!.!.
It's difficult!. Leaving them without assistance!.!.!.that's one to ponder!.!.!.if they indeed need it!. "Igniting"!.!.!.probably so!.
(That's a clever way to phrase it!) Edit: If the question grabs me, I'll read!. However, the 'Plz, plz!.'!.!.and 'quick 10 points' turns me off!.
As does the fact the questions simply laze around, no vote from the asker!.!.!.and end up (as so many do) in 'vote undecided questions'!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hmmmm!.!.!.!.I personally move on, but people with more experience I appreciate getting (and expect to get) honest opinions from!. How else can we improve!?
I think it's important to use tact though, don't just come out and say it stinks, you know!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

If it has no redeeming qualities then I just move on!. I only offer critique or help if they they ask for it or if there are just a few minor things that need fixing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Mostly i give in and move on, today I continued and it got better!. Maybe I will read on from now on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If it has some merit, I will comment but in a polite way!. I mostly move on!. I must move on now! lolWww@QuestionHome@Com

Mostly move on!. In those cases I'm not sure where to start with my comments so I pass!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
