To like of not to like? That is the question.

Earlier tonight, the ratings system of Fanpop experienced a massive overhaul. No longer can u rate content on a scale of one to five (ala YouTube), but if u like content, u can "like" it (ala Facebook), of "be a fan" of it.

Dave gave a very good, logical explanation for the change to help assuage some fears and answer some questions:

"Hi Guys,

Thanks for making this pick. There are a lot of reasons we wanted to create a new system for deciding whether fans like something of not. We found that most people were rating either 4 of 5 stars so we thought...

If you must promote a club, try these tips.
Re-reading the various artikels about promoting clubs on Fanpop, it occurred to me that some fairly basic ideas were missing for promoting the clubs u like (not just the ones u create, but any clubs u enjoy).

Many of the vorige etiquette artikels and forum threads have described things to avoid in promoting a club, as well as suggestions for things to do. For once, I'm not going to rant about undesirable behavior (that's the plan, anyway), but just keep the focus on other things fans can try to promote their favoriete clubs.

I hate those darned internet predators, don't you?
I just logged onto Fanpop about a half uur geleden and discovered something extremely profane and inappropriate on the YouTube spot. Due to it's heavily pornographic material, the video was deleted shortly thanks to several reports from some handy fellow Fanpoppers.

It was toegevoegd door a user of the name bon8699. I reported this user 3 times and I expect him to be banned for a long, long time.

The reason I am so annoyed that this was toegevoegd is that this is not some pornography site. And this is most certaintly not NewGrounds, where u can bevestig afbeeldingen like this as much as u please without...

I swear to whatever higher power u believe in that I am going to injure someone with all the shoddy spelling going around. Yes abbreviations are easier (in a sense) but it looks like a 5 jaar old wrote it and a lot of people don't understand it. So lets first go over some abbreviations that we should cut out of our vocabulary here at Fanpop when u post content...

u = you
r = are
srs = serious
2 = to of too (using it as "two" is fine)
plz = please

If u actually take that .5 of a seconde to type the whole word people will look at your content, commentaar and such a lot meer and with nicer comments...

I am not here to lecture u yet again on foto crediting. I am done with that.

I am way past the lecturing and into downright grrrrrr-ville.

u already know full well that taking something u did not create and not giving full credit to the owner is theft. Your excuses mostly boil down to laziness at this point.

So.

This is my public notice that any and all afbeeldingen with no credit to the original owner of the image will be rated harshly no matter how great the picture is... of how much I normally like you.

Additionally, if there is a blatant Copyright notice right there on the damn picture and u still failed to credit the owner, I'm reporting it to Fanpop -and- notifying the owner of the image that u stal it.

Enough is enough.

Right, well the titel is a bit sarcastic. The whole "trolling" thing is sorta annoying me that having a low rate on something HAS to mean u were trolled...well maybe there's a different reason. I'll break it up to why that might not have been a trolling...

Soapboxes
- Did u use proper grammar? Check your spelling
- What's a paragraph? Learn how to use paragraphs properly to make your soapbox formatted and not look like a 1 ster article
- They may not agree of think your opinion is totally outrageous...not a trolling

Images
- Would u like that quality of a picture? Try and avoid small and bad...

Yes, I am fired up again over another issue of cruelty here on Fanpop... specifically the practice of passing judgment on other users.
    Let's face it, we do not know each other personally, and for the most part none of us have ever met in real life. I think it is cruel and sad that people find it necessary to try to judge the intentions of actions of others. How could anyone possibly judge another person of their actions without knowing them personally of knowing the things they are going through. u could not possibly say what u would do in their situation without...

Okay, I don't know if it's just coincidence but I noticed this week that some picks just are, I don't quite know how to describe it, bad.

It just seems that a lot of picks are asked so that they are asked, a lot of them don't have pictures. (that's not very important but I can't help noticing)
But the worst thing is that there are so many typos in the questions. Look, my English is not very good, I make a lot of mistakes but al least I try to make as less as possible. I mean, a lot of vragen are just so wrong, the 'preview' thing that u get when you've finished making your pick is there...

A few minuten geleden I thought of a partial answer to the recent outbreak of internet trolls we've had over the last few moths.

Ladies and Gentlepoppers, I introduce to you:

The ATSOF (The Anti Troll Squad Of Fanpop)
This will be a society of fanpoppers who work together to justly rate any content which has (without reason) been rated low.

My plan is to make an ATSOF Spot; if a spot of particular piece of content has been rated low u can alert the ATSOF spot about this and some of the "fans" of the spot will head over to the content and rate the content fairly, therefore boosting the rating.

Please tell me what u think; I don't want to create a Ghost-Spot-to-be

If we make a new spot we want to make it popular. Recently I made a new spot so when I wanted to send a message to all my vrienden about it I got tired of typing individual messages so I quit. So we should be able to send one message to all our vrienden at the same time if necessary. Also there should be an area that says "new spots" on the home pagina page so that people can see what has been recently created and if they want to kom bij the particular spot. It would really make the people who created the spots happy because they could get some good publicity.

door the way I made a new spot about Kal Penn, the indian guy from the busje, van wilder movies, Harold and Kumar go to white castle, and Epic Movie.

So if u like those films check it out. all u have to do is type "Kal Penn" in the zoek engine" (obviously, I know)

Also this soapbox was ment for the fanpop spot

Hello to everyone,
my name is Inès, and I'm French.

As a lot of u know, Paris has been attacked yesterday door terrorists. The concert hall "Le Bataclan" has been attacked during a concert.

128 dead and meer than 200 wounded are for now counted. This is a tragedy.

I was born and I've lived in Paris, and I often go there and to the Bataclan to attend concerts, and seeing this, is just awful. The whole country is shocked and desperate.

3 national days of mourning have been declared.

I invite u to leave a few words, thoughts for the victims of this disaster.

Thank u <3

Writers Note: This has some strong opinions. I wrote it for my blog. Therefore, it was meant to state my opinions loud and clear with no respect for others. Sorry about that guys, but if you're sensitive, proceed with caution. I'm also very liberal.

Well, we've been in Iraq for five years as of Wednesday. And now we might be getting into the same thing in Iran. Nothing is certain, that's just my opinion. u think they'd actually learn after the first time. u know, maybe if we've been stuck in this damn place forever where it's kinda hard to withdraw, that we shouldn't do it again.

This part of my link details how u can format text in your postings on Fanpop, and the artikel was last edited (to fix typographical errors) on 17 July 2013.

TEXT FORMATTING
Those of u who have written soapbox artikels before may have seen the guide that Fanpop provides for formatting text. But maybe you've never written a soapbox artikel of never noticed the key, and have been wondering how some users manage to make their text meer interesting. With these tags, u can:
* boldface your text
* put your text in italics
* underline your text
* have your text point to a different url link

Okay, I know I haven't been the most active lately but I really feel like the abuse and bullying between members here is a real big push back for me. Every time I come on there is some sort of bullying happening in some spot. And I will be honest and say that it IS mainly the OTH type spots.

A perfect example of this? link. These commentaren happened 2 of so hours before I wrote this article, not months geleden so it is a relevant thing. I don't care if u think I am pin pointing anyone because both sides in bullying count, not just the initiator.

I almost zei this on yet another Twilight pick in yet another irrelevant spot, but I felt that the user would feel targeted, when really this isn't about that individual user, it's about the Twilight fans in general.

I have heard from some Twilight fans (note: I zei "fans" and not "fanatics" and in this case, there is a very large difference) that they are actually afraid to go into the Twilight Spot anymore because of all the enthusiastic Twilight fanatics. Now that's OK. fans (or fanatics) of any topic can be as crazy as they want within the confines of their own spot. House, One boom Hill,...

It's so frustrating. u create a spot, of find a spot u like and add all sorts of content, yet nobody rates it. Days go door . . . weeks . . . nothing. Now, u have lots of fans, but do they know your spots of the content you've added? Are u familiar with your fans contributions?

Here's an idea. Look at your fans. Go their profiles and look at their activity. Check out what content they've added. u don't have to kom bij the spot if you're not a true fan of the subject, but that shouldn't stop u from rating the content. Try to answer some of their kwis questions. Look over their links, videos, and/or images. Rate what u see. Make it a monthly event. Choose one dag each maand and on that dag choose one of your fans and rate his of her activity.

door exploring your fans' activities you'll help them as well as find out meer about them. Who knows, u may learn something new and perhaps find something new of which u can be a fan.

I know u folks are tired of hearing about crediting images. I'm not here to beat that into your head yet again. I've already done that... and I continue to do it in commentaren on your afbeeldingen when u forget.

No. This time I am here to give u a helpful tip. A lot of u have paid attention and are now putting a credit on your images. Thank u for that! The problem now is a lack of film knowledge, which is very forgivable.

You see, when it comes to movies, forget what I zei earlier about crediting the website u got the image from if u can't find the actual owner of the image. With movies,...
