What does this mean?

I am new to this site and I wrote a poem and tried to post it but couldn't because it said "Please revise context". I am shocked that a POETRY site would dictate context or anything else for that matter...does anyone have any info on this? What?Are they editors or something?Is there another poetry site that allows freedom in CONTEXT?

That's an odd error, we don't do any context checking on the submission. Could you private message me the details of the poem? Title, length of the poem, etc?

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.
