F.U.C.K.s, as U will see, are positive and open poetic competitions, meaning that there will be no negative awards (like Literotica vote 1), and there will be no secrecy.
There shall be separate monthly and biannual poetry F.U.C.K. competitions. Their main goal is to promote poetry.
The monthly and the biannual competitions will be independent. The points earned by a poem in one competition do not influence its score in the other.
The rules below r not very detailed on purpose. They say who can vote, when to vote, and how to vote.
Now comments. Most any poem and most any 5 posts should be sufficient for someone to be a F.U.C.K.er. The intention is reasonably inclusive. Gurus may kick someone out of the voting process post factum, after a false attempt was made. The idea is to cut down on any red tape. Basically, we can already vote for the May poems. Gurus will make sure that, say, a single (or multiple
) 1-2 word text like "Fuck you!" or "nothing", or some other obvious nonsense, does not count as the basis for the voting privilege. If Gurus in someone's opinion go wrong it is not a big deal, it's ok, not much harm done. Let the candidate post something more convservative or whatever Gurus will accept. The same with the 5 posts. They should not be blatantly worthless.
The F.U.C.K.ing threads should be kept tidy, free of any irrelevant noise (no personal remarks there like "thank you" or whatever), it should be strictly business. And from time to time someone should summarize the thread by posting a neat table which shows the standing of poems up to that moment.
It will be ok to announce an intention to award points to a poem before the F.U.C.K.ing voting time. Indeed, the idea is to promote poetry, and announcements will stimulate the interest and the discussions. But one should never start an actual F.U.C.K.ing thread before its time, and only points posted in the official thread count toward the poems' scores.
In the future these rules my be complemented by more details or they might be even modified, but always with poetry promotion in view.
Best regards,
There shall be separate monthly and biannual poetry F.U.C.K. competitions. Their main goal is to promote poetry.

The rules below r not very detailed on purpose. They say who can vote, when to vote, and how to vote.
- The poems will be voted on by F.U.C.K.ers. A F.U.C.K.er is anybody who has posted on Literotica at least one poem or at least five statements on the Literotica poetry board, and who on this basis is accepted by the panel of three Literotica gurus (see remarks at the end of this post!).
- From 11th of each month till and including the 10th of the next month voters vote in the monthly F.U.C.K. for the poems posted in the previous monthy. For example, voters can vote from June 11 till July 10 on poems posted on Literotica during the month of May, which precedes the given month of June.
From August 1 till and including January 31 of the next year F.U.C.K.ers vote in the biannual F.U.C.K. for the poems posted in the period of time from January 1 till and including June 30, directly preceding the time for voting.
From February 1 till July 31 F.U.C.K.ers vote for the poems posted from July 1 till December 31 of the previous year. - Each F.U.C.K.er has each month 20 monthly points to distribute for the poems posted during that month; and each halfyear s/he has 30 biannual points to distrubute for poems posted during that halfyear.
Each poem can recive from any F.U.C.K.er up to 8 monthly points and up to 12 biannual points. A F.U.C.K.er can award points to any number of poems, to each poem a positive integer number of points, as long as the total of the awarded monthly and biannual points does not exceed the limit of 20 and 30 respectively. (For instance, for May U may award 8pts to one poem, 3 to another and 2 to still another, for a total of 13 points, without awarding the remaining 7 points). - A F.U.C.K.er who awarded to a poem less than the allowed maximum may later, within the given time frame, add more points to that poem (without exceeding 8 or 12 points respectively), but s/he can never decrease the award, no points can be taken back.
- Each monthly and biannual voting will have its own F.U.C.K.ing thread, where F.U.C.K.ers will award points to the poems. It will be in a good F.U.C.K.ing spirit to supply a comment too. But eventual further discussion of the awarded poem should take place in a separate thread, different from the F.U.C.K.ing thread, where it will be fair to criticise and praise it alike.
- Authors have a right to restrict a discussion on their poem but then such a poem will not be eligible for any F.U.C/K.ing competition and the eventual poits which it earned will be released (like they were never awarded).
- Each F.U.C.K.ing thread should have the subject title of the form
start date -- end date, monthly F.U.C.K. (year xxxx)
or
start date -- end date, monthly F.U.C.K. (year xxxx)
(for example, someone should start within a week or so our first thread:
May 1 -- May 31, monthly F.U.C.K. (year 2002)
and award some points to the first poem(s)).
