Fanpop Question

How do you give props to people with closed wall?

I wanna give some props to people that I like, but they don't like me back. Story of my life. Anyway, how do I do that? I had to post a note to their club wall instead, but that's not the same! How do I bypass this closed wall obstacle? Is there any way around it? How to tell someone on this site that you like them a lot, when they don't even wanna read your mail?!? So, how do I make them like me and let me give them some props? Why some people close their walls to props in the first place?! How come people don't read their own mail?! How do I tell zanhar1 that I like her a lot? Can somebody help me with that? Anyone? Thanks.

It's not just zanhar1. Many people on this site have closed walls, people that I like, but they don't like me. There is plenty of other people who never fanned me back. How do I tell all those people on this site that I like them a lot??? How do I tell makintosh and some other users to fan me back??

Is there a halfway setting where people could comment on walls and give props, but the content wouldn't be visible until authorised by that person? If not, that could be a good idea.

Once a person closes his/her wall, you cannot give messages or prop to the his/her wall. After a person opens his/her wall, you can send a message or give a prop to the his/her wall.

You don't. I have my wall closed off to anyone not on my fanlist because in the past I've had people spam my wall with 'join my club' stuff or bots spam it with 'go to xyz website for free whatever!' I've also had people use my wall to harass me and tell me to kill myself among other things so I closed it off back in 2012ish.
Downside is I can't receive random nice messages. But honestly, closing my wall off saved me from a few nasty people so I just keep it that way.
I feel like this is why most people privatize their profiles.

The best way to give a person like that props would be to message them like you did...and hope that they check their inbox unlike some people *CoughMeCough*.

I saw your message at work, said that I would respond after work, and forgot lol. The reasons I personally don't check my inbox is because I'm really busy IRL due to my new job and (unlike when I was in high school) I have more friends and a better social life. So I get pretty busy. Fanpop is kind of dying so I don't check it quite as often.

It isn't that I (and others) don't like you. It's that we don't know you. I like to talk to people a few times before adding them as I've had a few users turn out to be real jerks. And one dude who kept saying really creepy stuff, like he'd post on the one picture of myself that I uploaded with really creepy sounding 'you're pretty's'.
But you seem like a nice person, so I'll add you so you can post on my wall and stuff.
