germany123 yes that awful "weaslyismyking" kept sending me spammy messages aboot oral hygiene ;o okay no, this is just to show you what happens when you block someone:their future messages will automatically be redirected to your trash! If a user is being abusive or a spammer you must [url=http://www.fanpop.com/spots/fanpop/articles/37454/title/leaving-fanpop-one-users-thoughts-on-reporting-tool]REPORT[/url] them so the F4 can deal with their accounts.Remember to use the notes section explaining what the user is doing!

jbiebgirl100 um thats eaither spam or there a nerd

User20392 ^ Okay, thanks for answering. :)

The Fanpop Prop Flaw

posted by Katreader

The concept of the prop is wonderful. Fanpop is a user based site and users should have the ability to reward others for their hard work. I also agree with the idea behind Prop Day. It should serve as a reminder to all users to give that reward. However, the prop system has become flawed. Very flawed. I happened upon a user profile and saw several props. I looked to see when the user started Fanpopping and saw that it had only been two months. Wow! This person must have added tons of content. So I looked at the activity. No links had been added, no videos, no images (mind you, the profile had...

"Ghost Accounts" - 3 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Cheat on Picks

posted by nosemuffin

I'm not afraid of you, Ghost!

So I was hanging out on my computer this evening, watching some videos and browsing on Fanpop, when I noticed something that disturbed me. In not one, but two different spots. I discovered several examples of what I believe to be "Ghost Accounts".

"Ghost Accounts" are what I'm calling additional accounts created by an already existing Fanpop member to skew the results of a pick or an argument in their favor. I have read things posted by other Fanpoppers suggesting their existence in the past, but hadn't knowingly spotted any for myself. Tonight I believe I spotted three different people doing...

Fans come and go but Spots last a bit longer.

posted by rookyboy

dont' leave

Have you noticed that people on this site add lots and lots of things and gain load's of fans then out of nowhere are never adding again or only add now and then. Look through your fan list and see who is still adding and praise them for there loyalty and praise even more or even prop them for their work, they all deserve it.

By the way this is my first soapbox

How To Make A good Pick On Fanpop!

posted by Jonapello23

Ok, I usually don't make user guides but this one needs to be made. I have seen a lot of picks and a lot of them are boring or annoying. Here is a list of steps to help you out.

1. Try to have more than three answers if possible. If the question is "Who should Jim be with?" Put, Karen and Pam, and then put an answer like neither or Katy.

2.Always have pictures for the question if it isn't a yes, no, or maybe question. Pictures bring in more fans and make the picks more interesting.

3. Try to ask questions that people haven't already asked and questions that people will be interested in. Don't make it boring.

Now these are the three golden steps to making a good, quality pick on fanpop. If you feel I need to add anything, then please leave it in the comments.

On copyrights...

posted by DrDevience

I have a pet peeve.

As a writer, I have found my stuff posted on other websites without my permission, and sometimes without so much as a mention that it was MY article... or a link back to the original. This ticks me off, and it is illegal to do so.

I have not come across this on Fanpop with articles yet, but I have seen it numerous times on images.

Some of the people I adore the most are even doing it. I have to assume innocence here and figure some folks just don't know... so I'ma tell ya ;)

Credit. Credit. Credit. The option to add the photo credit when you submit an image is there for a reason....

Obession Over Your Favorite Tv Shows

posted by adwbuffy

Chose Buffy & Spike From Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 7

Has any one ever told that you are obessed with this show?

Well, I have cuz I have pictures on my computer, seasons of the show, and some soundtracks of the show. See a lot of people can be judgemental sometimes. Now, that can be annoying.

When I have some my best friends sleep over my house,they see a lot of stuff from my favorite shows. And they would say wow you really love that show.

See, I have all seasons of two shows that I love which is Buffy The Vampire Slayer & Xena The Warrior Princess. Then my friends would judge on some things that I have in my room that are from thoses two tv...

This Is A Forgery

posted by Cinders

If I was cool, I would say where this image came from here

This is a forgery. Every single word is plagiarized. (1)

What is Plagiarism?
Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work, or borrowing someone else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of the offense:

According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to "plagiarize" means

1. to steal and pass off (the ideas or words of another) as one's own
2. to use (another's production) without crediting the source
3. to commit literary theft
4. to present as new and original an idea or product derived from an existing source.

In other words, plagiarism...

Please Stop the Frantic and Stupid E-Mails!!!!!!!!!!!!

posted by Jonapello23

Ok, there has been a growing problem that I have recently noticed on Fanpop. I have been receiving many e-mails that are very annoying and sometimes even offending. I don't care if you are having a problem with another fanpopper or you are telling me about a new spot. The fun part about fanpop is that you get to discover new spots for yourself. And we might not like the certain spot. Also, if you are having a problem with another fanpoper than just ignore them and don't tell us about that certain person.i don't want to here it. I might even be friends with that specific fanpoper. If you are...

My Ordeal: The story of a fanpop-addict whose internet broke...

posted by AmyFitz

I was never intending to do a follow-up article on fanpop-addiction. I just took it for granted that I had grown happily addicted and I would remain that way. I basked in the warm, happy glow that only recognition for fanpop-contribution can give you, and looked forward to the fanpopping years ahead.

But then disaster struck. And I'm not talking about the massive floods that have hit England... (I was fine with the cellar being filled with water...)No, my internet broke and left me without fanpop.

So now, my second list. The list of what happens when a fanpop-addict is forced to quit.

The point of forums!

posted by Snerkie

As the 'Answers' section keeps getting clogged up with more and more spam and miscategorized content I feel the need to introduce you all to a part of Fanpop that would solve so many problems if only people would use it.

What are Forums? The Forums are for use of discussions. Things that may not have a few solid answers (use picks for that). Where you can create long winded discussions.

Why should I use the Forums and not post all my useless questions in Answers? Because Answers is where you are asking a question that would have a factual answer to that you do not know.

Technically speaking what...

The breasts spot

posted by caramelmilk

Breasts are pornographic and should only be shown on porn sites.

Girls must be careful when looking in the mirror, the sight of their own breasts could easily aruse them which in most cases leads to a heavy masturbatory response.

Knowing this we are sincerely happy that the danger that was the breasts spot has been deleted shortly after its creation.
Our thanks go to the brave fans who have reported that inspired-by-the-devil-spot and were not stopped by the fact that no pornograhpic material was allowed over there. They were not fooled by the image of it being a nice place devoted to a pretty...

OMZG!!!!1 Juisten Beiber is su HOooooUT! (Rant about miscategorized content)

posted by huddysmacked

I’ve never made a rant about fanpop issues before so beforehand I’m telling ya, it might be the worst written thing on earth (clearly after Twilight XD), but it’s a rant and it’s 1:10 am in my country and I’m almost brain dead because of the past week but I can’t take it anymore.

Today, I’ll delight you with a rant about miscategorized content because , trust me, it gets on your nerves too.

Imagine yourself being in the ‘pop one of those days in which you want to stare at your favorite celeb pictures, read a good quality article, watch a fan made video and even comment in some...

I Hate You Adobe!

posted by want2watcheroes

Some of you may not no this but if you have a mac you can only upload five images at one time onto fanpop.

Most of you probably don't care because you have a PC or don't upload images that much.

It didn't really get on my nerves before, but now I want to upload Heroes screencaps to the Heroes spot which I have a die-hard medal in and I know PC users can upload much more than five images at a time; especially if they have a die hard medal in the spot they want to upload in.

I know you can open loads of tabs but then again it is more work and annoying.

It's unfair on people who like to contribute anyway, so I hope there is some change in the image uploader for mac users.

P.S. If you joke and say I should have a PC or whatever, then very funny but no.

Bugs vs. Suggestions

posted by harold

This article describes two different kinds of feedback to the Fanpop staff that are often confused for one another, and was last edited on 28 October 2008.

Feedback on the web site
Like any commercial software enterprise, web sites provide a product to their customers. In Fanpop's case, the product is a great site for joining together with other fans of topics that interest you in order to share quality content and make friends. But as with any product, feedback is very important to both maintain and improve the product. But feedback for maintaining the site is fundamentally different than feedback...

What is going on?

posted by kathiria82

Okay, first of all I don't write these articles but now I'm fed up! Can anyone please enlighten me because I am confused. What is the problem if I or anybody else posts more links/videos/images than another fan? If I happen to be the one with the most links/videos/images or whatever on Fanpop that is because I like helping out the website. It doesn't make any sense for people to feel jealous or attack me or other people for posting more content than them. That is the most absurd reason to get angry. I am posting content mainly to help out the website but I also know that some people on here...
