But am i the only one who thinks this or dont they bother anyone else?? On other spots the 'battles' are fine because they dont clog up your updates, its just on this club.
BTW the dog from "I haven't noticed them? " is so cute xD
But I actually pick on a few of them!
Please stop them, i am now havin to ignore one of my favorite spots because of these usless picks!
I get annoyed by some of the spammy updates from the Random spot & the Twilight spot etc. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna complain about it.
People are just trying to have fun and be active imo.
And what do you mean by ignore it? Obviously ive tried that many times, but it literally CLUTTERS my updates so its a bit hard not to ignore, if you know what i mean?
When I come online, the first thing I do all the time is check my updates. Then go to pick questions because theyre my favourite thing to do on this website - but instead of seeing a variation of different questions, I just see "Battle of my favourite _______ (Round 15)" and its like wtf? If there was 3 rounds, fair enough. Even 5. But 15? All in a matter of half an hour? Sorry but I just find that hard to ignore really, especially since its staring me right in the face.
Im not saying people cant post it, honestly, its just my opinion.
I don't even think the "Battle of favorite" picks are the problem. Like Sarah (SG1-090) said, it's the "1-10's fav male V fav female V fav couple V fav show" that are in this spot the most. A person made it at first and then everybody else started taking the idea. Which i don't mind, to be honest. Like sk91 said, as long as they are without caps and with good icons, i'll have fun answering them.
About the "Battle of favorite" ones, i thought it would be fun to make them. It's obviously a lot of picks (14) because there are lots of characters. Would you like me to just put 80 characters in one pick?
Round 2 also have 14 picks, because it's the ONLY way to have the picks all with the same number of options (42:3=14).
But Round 3 will only have 7 picks. The number of picks will only get shorter as the rounds go on.
I have put lots of time in these picks. For example, i don't choose which characters are together in the picks, i actually give a number to every character and then use a site (random.org) to get the numbers combinations. And i never use the same icon for the same character. I can't do all of this in 5 minutes. Not even a hour is enough.
It may sound silly to a lot of people, but i like it. And since 77% of the users love them/are okay with them, i will continue to make them.
Oh, and by the way. No, i'm not after a medal. I have a die-hard and i've added 1095 videos and 8709 images to this spot. I don't think a few picks would make any difference.
Plus,Cat seems to have putted a lot of effort doing these picks so it was no really nice of you adding this pick...
But I think this settles it...I was hoping that eventually those types of picks would die out, but they seem to be garnering a lot of support which probably means they're here to stay. I think I'll go ahead and leave the TV Spot. It's not one of my fav spots, it seems I hardly participate/contribute here and it takes up quite a bit of my updates.
So I guess I'm going to take stickymonkey's advice and 'Go get a life'! ;DD
Cas_Cat_2, I'm not really talking about you because you were one of the first to do them which is fine. The other picks you mentioned in your post such as "1-10s fav male" are what bothers me alot too btw. Thats kinda what I meant when I made this pick, but when I made this pick what I saw was "Battle of the favs" so it stuck in my head and I wrote it in the pick and now I cant change it sorry. And btw the girl that said you were after a medal then said that she wasnt talking about you Cas_Cat_2. I understand that people put alot of time into making these picks, but its just that EVERYONE is copying each other. And theres like EVERY single character and tv show now in these picks and its getting a little boring and out of hand to be honest. As I said - at first it was okay and I liked them.. but not anymore.
Sorry for having an opinion guys :/
They make this spot less fun and less active in terms of comments, because nobody bothers to ask interesting questions anymore, since everyone knows it will just get buried by a huge wall of 'which of my favoutire ______'s is best *round fiftyfivethousand*'
You also have to keep in mind, those picks aren't the only thing in people's updates, people are members of other spots too. Once there were 3 different people in 3 different spots doing 'round one/two/three/etc' picks at the same time. I missed so much on other spots because these three people all did about twenty each at the same time. There was literally nothing but 'round___' picks in my updates.
Bascally, if you want to do them that's great, just don't do such huge aounts at once, because they put everyone out, even the people doing them, since it stops the pick makers getting half the amount of responses as they'd get if they did a normal amount at a time.
Also people are allowed opinions on Fanpop thats what its always been like, this is not a hate pick it is asking for a matter of opion, from how i read it Mongoose was not looking to peeve anyone off, just wondering if anyone felt the same. Ive done these kinds of picks countless times and ive never recived any backlash like this i recived contrustive arguments as to why people disagree
It was def more welcoming in the past, i've been here since 2007, so i know too.
And sorry if i reacted somehow bad. But i've put a lot of work in those picks, and i felt you were talking exclusively about me. You weren't, so it's my bad.
I get what you people mean, i honestly do. But like i said, IMHO i don't really mind the picks, as long as they are well made, have good icons, and all of that. Also, i don't blame people for making the same picks over and over again, because each user is thinking "These picks are fun. What would be my list like? Maybe i should make it".
You know? I'm a bit like that too sometimes.
But of course having tons and tons of pages with all the same type of picks can be annoying, i understand that.
I agree with x-missmckena-x though. I dunno why people are getting so peeved. I didnt make this pick with the intention of annoying people and making them angry, I made it to see if anyone felt the same. I honestly didnt know that that was a crime.
i like those picks because they give me something to do and i don't really care about my updates and what-not, so there - just innocently stating my opinion, shich is probably what i should have done instead of telling people to 'get a life'. i apologise.
The reason why Im complaining in my first post is because I think its better to state WHY you're annoyed than to just say "Theyre annoying" - sorry for stating my opinion and asking for others opinions. I know theres nothing I can do about it, Im not the owner of Fanpop, but its just asking for peoples opinions, I was wondering if anyone felt the same or if it was just me being my paranoid self.
Its the same as asking "Do you prefer Harry Potter or Twilight?" - its an opinion based poll. Its not a crime to ask.
LOL I'm the trouble maker that started them ;)
literally, this was yesterday, there was 20 rounds of this sort of question, all spaced out over an hour? sorry but its just too much. i just ignore them now.. well try to. its hard seeing as their staring me in the face. i cant find the good picks because theyre just eaten by these "battle" picks.
Wtf, as of right now this minute, they're on to round 32 in my updates. Thirty Two? THIRTY TWO?!?! And I thought 15 was bad.

lol they annoy me as well. I think there's a huge difference between what Cat does and those kind...
I hardly come here anymore because of it.
It's ok if someone wants create a pick of their fave character-show-couple, but I don't really care to know their 2nd, 3rd,....8th, 9th..,12th favorite.
Is that was this is refering to?
Yeahxoheartinohioxo, yeah im talking about those :) sorry i know theyre different from Cat's picks, but when i made the question it was 'battle' that was engraved in my mind and now i cant change the question sorry
Aww, thank you Holly. xD <3
Yea, those picks are so annoying. =S And they are in CAPS. Good Lord, i hate it.
Mine picks meant to be like a survivor game, and with each round the number of picks and options gets smaller.
Tbh, i'm almost afraid to continue and make them, because i get that after 35 rounds of other random picks in caps, people are just TIRED of picks. lol
