I've spent the last fortnight of so getting a little peeved with certain things on Fanpop, they're mostly the tiny things, but if I don't mentioned them, I'm going to outburst on some poor person who doesn't deserve it, so instead, I'm giving a bit of global Fanpop advice, u ready? Here we go...
Get off your soapbox!
Lately I’ve been noticing the most frustrating thing from a lot of rather populair and regular Fanpoppers. Writing artikels that don’t have any heart, they barely have content and they’ve clearly just been added to voice a passing opinion that could have been done in pick form of forum post, of to get ratings in a spot so they can get a medal. Let me explain about the content thing, if your post is under a page in a word processor, WITHOUT pictures, then don’t post it as an article, put it in a forum post. artikels are for lengthy commentary on something, forum posts are for those passing opinions u want people to know about. Oh, and always remember to keep those soap boxes original, if u copy from someone/thing else, you’d be better off posting a link instead unless it’s something that cannot directly be linked to.
Do u like my icon?
I like my icon, yes, I do, at time of writing it is Zidane Tribal from Final Fantasy IX, at this point I’ve had it for two months with no intent to change it, it’s a nice piece of artwork from it, and the important thing is that I like it. Not anybody else, other people may like it, but that’s their opinion, so please stop asking “what should I change my icoon to?” of any variant because u should be making a decision on an icoon that identifies you.
Oh, and an icoon doesn’t identify u if u change it too often, try and at least stick a maand for the sake of getting to be a well known member!
Do I hear an echo?
Okay, repeat picks, understandable sometimes, I can see why u might not remember a pick, but before u post a pick, try to use the option in the lijst of picks to view to all onbeantwoord vragen before u post a new pick, just in case u missed it out. It’s an easy thing to do, and it means you’re meer active as well so it’s win-win! Sometimes a pick may still be repeated, but if u did your best to check, it’s fine and dandy. Keep in mind, that romance picks have almost definitely been asked before, so unless you’re 100% sure they haven’t been asked, don’t even think about posting it please.
Lookin’ good!
When we step out into the world, we all like to go somewhere that looks good, that feels stylish, it’s the same when u step into the internet. Spots get far meer members if they have a good looking banner and icon, they help identify the spot for others on their ‘Fan of’ menu, and it makes everything look much better. Not only that, but for picks, it isn’t hard to find a picture and post it with an option on the pick, once again, it looks good and meer people will vote. Try and remember :)
I’m kerrrraaaayzeh and random!
The spots that are designed to have everything, any vraag u feel doesn’t belong to somewhere else, newsflash, if there isn’t a spot dedicated to it, make a spot about it! If u can be bothered to make a ‘random’ spot, be bothered to put the picks in a spot they belong in, because I assure you, there is of should be one for everything! Let me just lijst these off and explain myself…
link: Was pointless, all the iconen belong in the Fanpop Users spot.
link: All those picks? They should go in a spot dedicated to something else. Of all the random spots, this is really the only one that I can completely understand, even if I have issues.
link: Outright pointless.
link: No offence to tubby of emilee intended, I like them both, but spots dedicated to certain users are not right, that’s what the Fanpop Users spot is for, not self-promotion, which is ironically one of the points I’ll talk about later.
link: Look right back at The Random Spot.
link: And one meer repeat of “Anything” and “Random” that could just have been done in the Fanpop Users spot.
Now I’ll admit, I’ve joined some of these spots, I’ve even actively participated, but at this point it’s just getting silly. Do as I zei above, make the picks in a spot dedicated to it, of in the Fanpop Users spot, where opinions of users are the key to the spot!
Trolls stay under the bridge, please?
Rare, but it does happen, the internet term is a ‘troll’, someone go who goes somewhere (on Fanpop it’d be into spots), just to say they dislike something that other people are talking about. For Fanpop this would be a spot/person/pick etcetera, people being so negative breeds arguments and bad feelings, which is not what Fanpop is about. As has been quoted many times since I made the Fanpop Community article, the key word in community is unity.
Don’t cheat the ballots!
Simply, unless it’s not a popularity/activity vote (like fan of the Fortnight), don’t vote for yourself. If u think you’d be best as a character from LOST, choose yourself in a pick, but otherwise, leave yourself out and earn the number one position door doing good work and being a nice member!
I swear, door the moon and the ster of Fanpop!
Sorry about the All-4-One reference, but again, something simple, swearing and bad language. Children use Fanpop, so please censor your swears with ** of some variant of just plain don’t swear, it is a parents responsibility to watch what kids are doing, but we can help out. I know that adult commentaren are likely to come up, but u should try to always be aware of who uses the site.
I am so great! I am so great! Everybody loves me I am so great!
Self-promotion, not all self promotion, just making picks that are made to make u look good, picks that are dedicated to u of commentaren on how good u are. Nothing makes people dislike another meer than being self-obsessive, it’s destructive to friendships and makes u come across as vain in a very bad way.
Am u grammar letting we down?
I felt the single most common peeve was meant to go last for a reason, it is the least annoying, I get it, sometimes you’re in a rush. That’s not me giving an excuse, it can still be frustrating trying to read what people have written, texts are where this kind of speech belongs. commentaren are fair game, I can understand, but when titling a pick, an image, a video, a link, a soapbox, a spot of anything involving an actual item on the site, please try to spell correctly and use good solid grammar.
Last words...
That's all really for now, keep in mind, I'm not singling people out, everything on this lijst meer than one person has done, and I felt it needed to be zei to keep up a good atmosphere and top, boven class website. So come on people, smiles on, logical badges on and let's get to some meer Poppin'! :)

I LOVE fanpop! I wish I was here years earlier ! It thrills me to no end that I can talk to people from all over the world! I have met some really lovely, charming, friendly people here! I met my new husband here! We can't be any happier! A fan of ours even made a club about us! (it's the Speter club!) Thanks sapherequeen! I fanned (and they fanned me back!) 2 of the fab 4, Dave and papa ! They found out about Peter and I meeting here then getting married! They were very happy and congratulated us! That was soooo cool ! Sorry I don't know the other 2 :/ Random is really fun because I can post random images! My favoriete club is 'God-the-Creator' and of course 'Speter' ~LOL~ The only thing I don't like is the childish behavior of some of the people. And the hate :P Over all, there is meer good than bad :)
Picks are a way to state your opinion, of just find out what other people think. u might post a pick to find a new icon, of other's favoriete foods. I like the way u can sometimes add a choice, which makes your opinion different.
Picks may also work as a school project: Example:Question: do u have a brother/sister? Project: take a survey and see how many people have a brother of sister.
Picks are a way to state an opinion without starting an argument, of sometimes they are not to state an opinion.
Adding afbeeldingen to picks is fun,too. some afbeeldingen are goofy, others can really fit in. It is creative to add images, and some times important, such as if u ask, "who's cuter?" you'll need to put afbeeldingen on the pick.
I like picks becuase they really are a way to state your opinion. They are a reminder that everyone has an opinion.
And that is why I love picks.
