I don't understand your system of choosing a winner. I had most of the likes and comments to my poetry and still you chose a poem with 3 likes and 2 comments. It's so epic that it makes me not wanting to be lyrical here anymore. Why people voting and commenting then? Who's to choose the winner and depending on what?

It's not a popularity contest, otherwise the same people would be nominated every week and that would be unfair in a different way. Is a popular poem better than an unpopular poem? Maybe, or maybe the unpopular one just was posted at the wrong time and wasn't seen.

All the mods pick their favorite poems and I pick from among those favorites. We look at artistic value mainly, but we also consider how many times someone has been nominated, how many times they've won, and if they are already being rewarded for their poem with a lot of big upvotes or not.

We try to share the wealth here in many ways. People are encouraged to comment a lot and we also try to reward everyone for submitting poetry, good or bad, popular or unpopular. I'm sorry you feel we passed you over this time, but we only have four nomination spots... we can't get everyone.

Edit: And the winner is chosen by the votes. We have absolutely no control over that.
