Fanpop Question

Is the rating FAQ innacurate?

I was reading the FAQ for Fanpop and it appears that the FAQ is inaccurate.

link How do I rate something?

Simple! Just hover your mouse over the empty circles next to the link where it says rate this link, choose a number of stars to give it, click and voila!

This is a direct quote and I cannot figure out how to do this. If this is outdated, please indicate this and could someone please tell me how to rate!

It's very out of date.

Rating was replaced by fanning a few years ago, mainly because rating could be abused. People would give high ratings to contributions from their fans, or would just rate everything as a 5 regardless of quality.

To fan, you just click the green button which says "Fan of it?". It's on the bottom right for images and videos, the top right on articles and on the right directly opposite a link.

FlickerFlame is right! It was changed years ago mainly because of 2 reasons. Biased people rating 5 stars on everything or rating 1 star to be mean and the 2nd reason is because fanpop is suppose to be positive and being a fan of something and if you rate low on something then your not fan and that doesn't make the contributer who posted that content feel good.

The entire FAQ is totally out of date and has been for years. Many a user has pointed that out, but still no update. Never seen any other site with such an out of date FAQ. Embarrassing.
