-Biased pick results example: Who's the most complicated out of these WOMEN?
1.Random girl
2.Random girl
3. Dean Winchester *poll winner*
4. Random girl
5.Random girl

-People who create a club and dictate rules: These are the people trying to control what people say and do if when other people join. You can't have specific opinions that might differ from the spots creator and have to abide by whatever they want or your asked to leave. Basically Mods with no power.

-People who add all of the above: And here is where your pick is effectively ruined by morons who cannot make a decision thus opting for the easy way out.

-Answer contest abuse example: "I'll award 10 tard-props to whoever posts the best picture of Justin Bieber drinking water"

-Cliques that create duplicate spots: Honestly go create your own forum on one of the various FREE forum platforms offered on the internet if you wish to get away from the general fanbase. That's not what Fanpop was designed for.

@OceanCoast: you mention Dean Winchester as if all Dean fans would do such a thing. wtf And ''here is where your pick is effectively ruined by morons who cannot make a decision thus opting for the easy way out''? Yeah you're right, all people like that are morons, how annoying. Like when I say I choose both Sam and Dean that makes me a moron, not just someone who cannot choose between the two of them.

what's the deal with duplicate spots?

@User20392, I used Dean Winchester as an example because he's one of the most prolific winners of just about every poll he's added too, even when he doesn't deserve too. I belong to about 6 different communities and notice this trend among its fans everywhere. They tend to be loyal to the point where all objectivity is completely skewed in his direction. Its not an attack on the character who I think is pretty cool, just an irritating reason I left the fanbase (yes I was a SPN fan at one time).

Also, about 'all of the above' answers, its just my opinion on why I don't like them. That's why its a pet peeve instead of a factual problem. I even elaborated my reasons for not liking them, which I'm more than entitled to, just as you are to disagree.

I wish it ended here. But I've also seen options like:
"All of the above but X!"
and
"All of the above, even X!"

MCHopnPop picked Cliques that create a duplicate spot just to get away from a large fanbase.:
Well this is something I'll never understand how someone doesn't like there being "too many" fans in one club,that's how clubs work Making a duplicate spot isn't going to solve that problem..because say if that club becomes "filled" what are they going to make another one..yeah this never really appealed to me. Actually I don't mind someone picking their favorite if says that..if says something else and the fan picks their favorite,then it's a problem..in a way,esp. if it's a pretty straightforward question.

Another pet peeve is double posting of the same image. If it's right there on the first page, why post the same thing?

And " Cliques that create a duplicate spot just to get away from a large fanbase" so so so annoying.

User20392 picked Biased pick results: where everyone just votes for their favorites.:
@OceanCoast Well that's weird, I mean, I don't see him everywhere. Yeah, I know that. Some Supernatural fans are simply ... well, you know. I wouldn't leave the fanbase just because some fans are like that, but if you wanted to, then you did it, and no one's saying anything.

Yeah sure I realize that, sometimes it bothers me when people use the 'All of the above' options too, it just depends on the pick. Again, I know that already, everyone's entitled to their opinion and everything, what did I say? :/ Apparently it seemed as if I was saying in my comment that I was mad at you for what you said, I simply didn't understand why would you call them morons, even people who you don't know, but well, I'm not telling you what to do, nobody is.

^You didn't do or say anything wrong. :)
Maybe I should have worded it a little differently LOL. Didn't mean to sound like defensive boob, I was just trying to point out that we all have our likes and dislikes, some may not agree with mine but there is nothing wrong with that because everyone gets a voice whether for or against something. That's all I was trying to say.

LowriLorenza89 picked Abusing the question feature for contests where they award 'best answer' props:
Also people who add irrelevant options to a poll, even in cases where that random joking option doesn't end up winning the poll.

I didn't really get the poll option here. I read it and thought "isn't the purpose of some/a lot of polls to pick your favourite?". Obviously some don't have that intent - "who would win in a fight?" or "who was hurt more by event X?" or even "who do you hate the most?" type questions. A lot of fans do seem to let their favourite characters biased their choices though.
