Fanpop Etiquette artikulo | Original artikulo on Fanpop

posted by mycrownofjewels

So this may seem a little "anal" of me, but I run into a lot of bidyo posted on spots that are broken, and for that, I ulat them. Still, I wonder why it's so difficult for the original poster to go back through some of the things they previously posted every once in a while (every 3 months?) to check which bidyo may now have a copyright claim, etc. I certainly don't mind cleaning up spots sa pamamagitan ng reporting broken content, but it is very time consuming...

As a tip, and to make this job easier for people who contribute a lot, broken bidyo often have a gray video camera as the image instead of...

Proper Etiquette For tagahanga Pick tanong

posted by vider69

I have created quiet a few spots now and I pag-ibig contributions of any kind, but I am surprised at how many people will pick on 'any' tagahanga pick tanong just for the sake of it even if they don't like the subject at hand.
Perfect examples of this behavior is what I have noticed not only on spots that I've created but many other spots as well, someone may put up a tanong such as: 'Do You Like The Movie Enchanted?' and someone will answer 'Never Seen It' or another question, say - 'Which Bambi litrato Is Your Favorite?' only for someone to come up with 'I Hate Bambi.'
It's not whether you are a fan...

Unhappy On Fanpop ? ? ?

posted by vider69

I've been with Fanpop for almost five months now and at first I thought it was a really happy place, I've made ten spots and all of them are doing well, I save, rate and always comment, however I've finally seen the nasty side of Fanpop, my first spot copped a lot of flack because it was classed as 'another walang tiyak na layunin spot' but it's going strong and gaining fans as is most 'other' duplicate spots I've seen, all of my spots have been a great form of creativity and experience for me, it sounds too good to be true, AND IT IS because there is some really nasty people on our happy Fanpop place, people...

imahe kredito

posted by vider69

I’ve read up a lot on ‘image credit’ and peoples perceptions of the right and wrong ways to credit larawan but personally I think some people are going about it in the wrong way. I don’t expect people to ‘like me’ for what I’m about to say and I don’t care because as I’ve always stated, Fanpop is supposed to be a happy, fun place where people can make friends, share opinions, sumali and create spots all of which is a great way to express oneself, as well as contributing to other spots.
In my opinion Fanpop can teach us to be creative, to share with others, express ourselves and...

Double Up Spots

posted by vider69

I don't really know how to start this as I've only been on fanpop for a little over a buwan now, but it's just 'my opinion' regarding the spots that 'double up' as I call it. When I first joined fanpop I noticed there were quiet a few double up spots such as Buffy, Spuffy, Angel and Bangel, there's at least two Disney spots that I know of and many spin off spots such as Enchanted, Bambi and Ariel, there's many icon and awatara spots, there is double up spots and triple spots, but my point is I don't care because if I'm a tagahanga of say: Buffy (and I am) I'll sumali 'everything' I can find related to that piece, whether I double up or not because what I can't find on one spot I'll find it on another.
Many of you may not agree with me and I don't expect anyone to do so, maybe some of you like a few spots on the one topic and some of you don't, I like fanpop just the way it is, the madami spots, the better.

My Experiences-Part Two

posted by vider69

As my first artikulo on fanpop had to do with 'my idea' of fanpop etiquette I decided to write a part two as to how I would like to put my days into different sections eg: what to do on fanpop every day, if I have the time.

Monday: Work on the spot I've created.

Tuesday: Contribute to other spots and sumali new ones.

Wednesday: Check my bista sa tagiliran and learn madami about my fans.

Thursday: Go through every video, picture, article, wolpeyper etc. and save and rate my favorites.

Friday: Find new material to add to all of my paborito spots.

Saturday: Have one araw to go all around the whole of fanpop, I may not do anything but I might find something new.

Sunday: Try not to turn the computer on, who am I kidding?

And almost every araw I must remember to check my mail, it seems like a lot to do but it's fun anyway and if you're anything like me, someone who can stay on the computer for hours at a time? remember to take breaks at least every half an oras to avoid headaches. Have Fun.

Picks are NOT made for advertising!

posted by ToastedRabbits

Just a little heads up.

It has been going on for awhile, but I've noticed it especially most recently. The bottom line of this entire artikulo lays in its title: pick's aren't made for advertising.

Repetitively, picks are being created that ask "I've just made a spot for ___, will you sumali it?", or something along those lines. Picks like these aren't really opinions and hold little gumption in terms of an interesting poll or contrasting nakakita on a subject. Picks like these are being made to solicit new spots, which isn't what picks are for.

There is a fabulous link, a link, and a link dedicated...

Unsubscribing From Spots

posted by vider69

I decided to write this artikulo because I have seen tanong being asked about unsubscribing from spots and I have dropped a few spots myself.
The only two reasons I will drop a spot is if the spot has little or no content or the topic isn't exactly a paborito of mine, even if I thought it would be.
I do admit that I feel like a real mean asong babae when I decide to leave a spot and I'm not here to redeem myself or make excuses, but to help other fans who are in a similar situation as I am and also hopefully for some feedback, comments and ideas.
Some of us sumali spots because the person that created...

WARNING: I Will One-Star Chain Letters Posted as artikulo

posted by Cinders

I hate chain letters in my e-mail box. I do not want to see them in my Fanpop updates.

I remember a taon or madami ago, link got the mickey taken out of him sa pamamagitan ng DrDevience and others for posting unoriginal chain letters and Rush Limbaugh transcripts as soapboxes. He acted accordingly and removed those articles, and though I think we came down a little unfairly on him, I agreed that chain letters should not be posted as soapboxes, because they are not original work, which was the point of soapboxes in the first place.

You'll notice that, when you post a new article, there is a drop-box asking what...

Image Ratings

posted by vider69

I've been rating larawan from some of my paborito spots for the last couple of days and I always rate, save and comment (in that order strangely enough) and I was really surprised at some of the bad comments towards images, not to the person who added them but to a certain celebrity e.g. Sarah Jessica Parker from The Sex And The City spot or Willow from the Buffy spot. Whether the image is a portrayal of the character or the person some people have left nasty comments calling them 'ugly' and so on, if you are a tagahanga of a spot then I'm assuming that you like the person, character or people surrounding...

My Experiences With Fanpop

posted by vider69

I've only been with fanpop since mid June this year, it was a bit confusing at first but I joined a few spots, made a few pics, saved some of my paborito videos, worked out how to use my mailbox, contributed to a few spots, created my own spot and made a few tagahanga friends. However when we had the kamakailan image problem things became madami confusing, I couldn't ad pictures to other spots and couldn't work on my own spot so I'd log in to check my mail and the image dilemma and log straight back out again.
Then tonight (after MUCH boredom) I realized it wasn't just about the larawan (even though that...

The Unofficial Etiquette Guide to the Fanpop sagot Feature

posted by Cinders

Hello, seekers of good sagot to burning questions! It has come to my attention that an official guide to using the new sagot feature is necessary in order to prevent abuse of this fabulous new fun feature.

I stumbled across fanfly's tanong about the link for this feature and answered the tanong with a listahan of five things I think are the most important to keep in mind. Urged sa pamamagitan ng germany123 to make it into a soapbox, I present to you the Official Rules of the Fanpop sagot Feature.

Enough Is Enough

posted by vider69

I am so sick of all the nastiness and sarcasm that goes on in Fanpop, through the forums, via tagahanga pick tanong and comments left regarding larawan etc.
And I'm sick of being so nice about it when there's only so much one person can take, I've almost left Fanpop on a few occasions because of 'some' peoples attitudes here and I'm over it.
I have been on Fanpop for almost a taon now and I'm not nasty to people, I get on here and do my thing and contribute as much as I can, but if I cop anymore shit or see people being nasty to other people here I will ulat them and I'll name all of the 'nasties'...

Your Spot Or Not Your Spot?

posted by vider69

I think that this artikulo belongs here in opposed to 'Fanpop Spots' because it is a Fanpop Etiquette issue, as well as a spot or club issue.
When you sumali a spot it appears in your magpabago as one of your spots and so do the ones you create, I've heard some people say that a spot that you created 'isn't your spot' now I know that the spots belong to Fanpop and I realize that 'most' of you would be very proud of your creations just as I am of mine.
However if you are the spot creator then 'in my opinion' the spot is yours to some degree, you create the spot, only you can change the banner, icon...

Heterosexism on Fanpop

posted by Cinders

So I tried to think of a catchier title, but I figured I might as well just call it what it is. I have seen instances of (what I believe to be unintentional) heterosexism in several Fanpop picks. As evidenced sa pamamagitan ng link, however, some believe it to be intentional.

Now I'm not trying to whine about wording or being politically correct. In fact, I'm not politically correct in the slightest, as anyone who knows me well enough will tell you. And this issue isn't really a big deal, I just wanted to make people aware of it and ask their opinions on it. So do you find these things odd?

The type of picks...
