This isn't a poetry site so much as a social site. If you want a social site, I'd suggest sticking to mainstream ones. If you want to get better at poetry, this is not the place to go.
Sorry to hear you didn't find it helpful :( There's definitely a mix of "encouraging" and "constructive" comments, so it's hard to know which one you're currently getting sometimes. The "automatic" ones you get upon posting a poem will be encouraging. Try out the "trade comments" tab, small groups, or some of the contests for the more detailed reviews. It can also take awhile, but poets often build relationships that let them trade detailed critiques knowing that they'll be returned.
