I always loved The Stuffed Owl, which contained snippets of some very famous poets who occasionally let their guard down. Poetizer, as far as I can tell, is not really a "social network" at all, just a digital bulletin-board; there doesn't seem to be much interaction among its posters, which is probably for the best. I don't think, however, that I've ever read a taxonomy (a contemporary one, anyway) of what makes bad poetry bad. Pound had a stab at it over a century ago, and Pope did it two centuries earlier.
