I just logged onto Fanpop about a half hour ago 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 submitted by 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 submitted is that this is not some pornography site. And this is most certaintly not NewGrounds, where you can submit images like this as much as you please without so much as a hint of being banned. This is Fanpop, people. We are a clean and all-age-friendly website. And the fact that content like this was submitted so easily and lasted long enough for perhaps thousands of youngsters to view really does not help our reputation.

So I believe now is the time to get moderators onto the site other then the F4. Despite the F4 being extremely dedicated to the site, it's simply not enough to rid the site of content like this entirely. And yes, users can submit reports of this content, but the content may stay there for a long long time (due to, like I said, the F4 not being able to handle everything at one time.)

So perhaps if we got moderators onto the site we could be a much cleaner site, and our reputation would be much higher among parents. If we made some of our most dedicated users mods, we could handle this type of garbage and exterminate all of those dirty internet predators.




Thanks for reading.
