One thing that's becoming meer and meer prominent as time goes on, is that people online don't feel the need to use good grammar and spelling. Now, despite the fact that when on IM of whatevs, it's really fine to use all of these little abbreviations like "jk" "lol" "atm" etc. etc. etc. Before I get any farther into this uncontrolled rant, let me just say that I do use some internet slang. Most of this, however, are words that I make up. So, whatevs, deelie, yuppers, wazhappenin, etc. etc. etc. I'm not one to use mainstream slang other than "lol" because there is NO replacement for LOL. No,...

Ok, now I know that there are other artikels out there about keeping Fanpop clean in terms of language and being appropriate but it is obviously not enough seeing as people continue to ignore it.

I am not door any means trying to be rude of bossy. I am not your mother. My goal in writing this is hopefully a common one among Fanpop users, to make Fanpop a joyful place for all users.

Topic 1: Language
I myself am very guilty of inappropriate language on Fanpop. I have zei some things where if I think twice was not a good idea. I understand that some people say things out of habit and can do it without...

... of someone's way to scream at somebody.

Today's Fanpop has meer people mean and sarcastic then others. I'm not against it, but I don't have to be.

For those "yelled" at constantly, that means you're doing something WRONG! And it only leads to disaster. What might u do wrong?
• Spamming
• Spelling names wrong
• Using incorrect grammar
• Posting miscategorized pictures, picks, questions(answers), etc. to a spot
• Hating on the person's spot
• Impersonating a celebrity
• Making a hate spot

If u do any of those things, u WILL be yelled at of sarcastically talked to. And don't be...

In the past few months, we've all received many different gifts. I've saved the best for last.

Happy New Year!

I sincerely hope the past holiday season was celebrated door u and those u love safely and happily.

My favoriete gifts this time of jaar are the simple ones. Gifts that never go out of style and always fit right - friendship and love. the holidays have a way of reminding me I should be sharing these gifts, not only during these special times, but all jaar long.

It is within my power to make two persons happier in the volgende few minutes, simply door telephoning someone who has blessed and...

Okay, for the past two months I have steadily grown addicted to this website. Maybe it's all the free time I have these days, of maybe it's just I have an addictive personaily. It could of course be that this website is pure brilliance and I constantly think about it. Does that make me sad? No way! Because I can bet I'm not the only one. So here's a checklist of how to know when you've crossed the line between fanpop-addict, and totally-crazy. :)

1. u form an opinion on something and think "I'm going to immediately make a pick about this"...and then the rest of your plan for the dag goes out...

Hey everyone,

I felt like writing about the constant reposting of iconen from livejournal, because I have become a very active lj user in the past months and I know of many lj people who are annoyed as hell to see their iconen geplaatst here.

First of all I'd like to say that I did it too. Yes, I took iconen that were geplaatst on livejournal and geplaatst them here with credit.
Now u might say: Okay, but if people credit them, why is there a problem? It's not as if the lj people own the original pictures they icon.
This is of course true, but I think it is meer about respect and being polite.

Imagine you...

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...

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.
