Wanting to make a better haven for us poets

I love this website, and now am addicted to it

I am sorry for bothering you, but I was wondering how I can help out the site. I see improvements and such that would make this a better site and want to help other poets like me,

One matter I see is that people are off topic on forums a lot:
An example is the critique my poetry. People are posting to just get their poems wanting to be read, rather then to want constructive critizism

Another, is the daily poetry challenge:
people are posting off topic to just get poems read. I think someone needs to manage the poetry challenges, and maybe post topics for people to write on, and have a sticky forum for submissions for the ideas for the daily poetry challenge.

3rd, The school of poetry:
I have no idea what its about, is it people to find poetry tips on the internet to post? Is it for the community to post what they think more poets should do? I like the idea of a place for tips on poetry, but there is no sticky to describe what to do, or what the forum is for.

I'm sure some agree with me on these subjects and want to have a poetry web site that is perfect, inspiring, and helpful

Thanks

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
