Disgusting mods

My name is Ryan Geoffrey Hayward and I was a prolific poet at allpoetry.com. In 18 months, my follower count raised above 570.

In that short time, I spent over 3000 dollars on subscriber gifts to young poets to keep them motivated on their writing and also

adults as well who showed promise as poets.

I even published my first two books through Kevin, the owner which was not cheap at all.

I often too spent money on silver so I could create big point contests for the good of the community.

Recently as of around May, I cam under fire when I turned down the advantages of a poet called RepeatedNap. She fakes what she

actually looks like with fake profile pictures, very photo-shopped. When I turned her down, she labelled me a child rapist.

I brought these concerns to Kevin but he shrugged them off. About 5 months later, another Poet called Jordan ( Crow) was labelled

the same thing as RepeatedNap labelled me.

We brought this attention to Harko Parko one of the moderators but he chose to do nothing.

During this time her friends tried to silence me by bullying me and I complained several times and Harko Parko did nothing. I retaliated

by creating ghost accounts to abuse them back and copped a 372 day ban.

I won't be returning to allpoetry after my ban, not after the thousands I invested and Kevin turning a blind eye to child rape false accusations.

AP is a vanity poetry site for rank amateur poets. The owner is a *** and routinely mismanages the site by routinely allowing rule breaking and rigged contests.

He grades people's work by use of an algorithm and routinely disrespects rhyme and form poetry.

His poetry books play on members' vanity. He uses their work in his books then charges those who contribute for a copy of them. The front page, which is supposed to feature the site's best poetry, has yet to do so. He uses a small circle of friends and favorites, as well as his algorithm, to choose poems for the front page based on his personal taste, which is frankly horrible.

Plagiarism runs rampant on this site, and the groups there have a cult mentality.

The poetry courses offered are run by members who have absolutely zero credentials to do so. Misinformation flows like water, and trolls regularly attack people's work.

Allpoetry.com is a horrid place. What this reviewer said is true. It's like a cult for bad writers and the mentally ill.
