Hello, seekers of good antwoorden to burning questions! It has come to my attention that an official guide to using the new antwoorden feature is necessary in order to prevent abuse of this fabulous new fun feature.
I stumbled across fanfly's vraag about the link for this feature and answered the vraag with a lijst of five things I think are the most important to keep in mind. Urged door germany123 to make it into a soapbox, I present to u the Official Rules of the Fanpop antwoorden Feature.
1) If u know the answer to the question, don't ask. This should be fairly clear already, but antwoorden are for vragen u NEED ANSWERING, not ones that u already know and want to kwis others. In fact, believe it of not, we already have a place where u can do that! It's called the "quiz" section.
2) If you're asking an opinion, make a pick instead. I've already seen some opinion related "Answers" questions. I'm not talking about, "What's the best way to make mac and cheese" kind of opinions (those can be "Answers" questions), I'm talking, "Did u know that the actress who plays Sharon appears in two episodes after her character's death?" These are not "Answers" vragen because there is no vraag being asked. All a fan can do is say, "Yeah, I noticed," of "No, I didn't." This is probably better served as a pick question, when there aren't multiple antwoorden of explanations that can be employed.
3) If u don't know the answer, don't answer the question. Responding just to say, "Oooh, I was wondering that, too!" of "Oh, I don't know, but I hope u figure it out" are not helpful to the asker, of anyone else for that matter. Either add your own answer to the question, of add on to what someone has previously said.
4) If it's been said, don't be a broken record. If a vraag has been sufficiently answered, and u agree with that answer, instead of answering again, VOTE FOR THAT AS THE BEST ANSWER. Makes sense, doesn't it? u agree, and it probably is the best answer. Don't be a glory whore and repeat what someone's already said.
5) If u think someone has it wrong, correct them. Just because a vraag has been answered several times doesn't mean it's necessarily been CORRECTLY answered. Feel free to add on to other people's antwoorden of to correct someone whose answered incorrectly. It's OK to politely say, "Actually, the film was released in June, not October." Or, "In addition to what amazondebs said, this actor can also be seen in this series of movies." People won't beat u with a stick. I promise.
So there u have it, the five main guidelines to stick to when asking vragen in the antwoorden feature. What do u think? Do u agree? Disagree? Do u have any rules you'd like to add?
