Okay this soapbox sadly, is going to point fingers so people can learn from this. I don't like having to point fingers but it seems no one gets the message across if it isn't done.
What is bulk posting? It's when you post multiple things all at the same time. So when you do that the keywords you give are going to be the same for every single thing you post.
Why do people bulk post? Well the excuse used can be "I want to share great content with others" but really it turns more into a quantity over quality.
Why is this harming keywords? When people bulk post they only put a general amount of keywords in that can sum up all icons but not put specifics to them.
Now onto showing you an example of how this is. This is only one example, from one spot, from one user. It happens on pretty much ALL spots though and from different users.

This whole spot in general I would say is a breeding ground of misused keywords (or none at all) and bulk posting.
Goodbye, Toby
keywords: the office, season 4, episode 14, icon
keywords you should use though in an image like this is:
who's in it? Dwight and Mose
additional things in it? Raccoon
episode name? Goodbye, Toby
Saying who is in the icon in your keywords is one of the most important things you could do. People don't just go and look for icons of season 4, they want to find a specific character they like easily.
Please remember this was not to attack anyone, it was to present a clear example of what should be done and the best way I can do that is through something that has happened.

I did it again.
I accidentally hit the "start chat" tab again.
And couldn't remember how make it go away.
I've had this problem a few times before and have to re-learn it every time.
For some reason, I'm always under the impression that the solution lies under my profile settings.
It does not.
So now there is an article to remind me, and anyone else who needs it, how to get rid of this dang thang.
Step 1: Under the "contacts" tab, click "I am online." The words, not the pencil. If you click the pencil, it will complicate things and you'll have to reload the page.
Step 2: Click "Log out."
It's not the most obvious way out, but it's easy once you finally remember how to do it, so I hope this helps cut down on some frustration. (If not for you, at least for me next time I accidentally open it and frantically search for a solution. =P)

By the way this is my first soapbox
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.

I'm guessing a lot of people have all ready have found this problem but if you don't understand then it's like this:
One day I decided to create a new club of something that didn't exist as a club yet but I couldn't find the 'Create a club' button. Trust me I looked high and low for the thing but couldn't find it. When I logged out of my account at last there I saw it, the 'Create a club button' so when I clicked on it they of course asked me to sign back in but when I did I was the same position I was in before clicking.
For some people this problem don't seem to happen but for people like me who want to create clubs but can't because the button is unavailable well it's frustrating. I've been looking abound for some kind of answer but the only thing that came up was a link link
this only leads to you having to sign in again. I don't know if it's the signing in thing that's the problem but it really shouldn't be.
Please fix this problem Fanpop!
