There is something I've noticed lately, that is obviously hard to control as the amount of users grows, but I thought I would point it out. What I noticed is a serious misunderstanding of the idea behind the "props" feature.
~ Let's start with the basics, according to the Online Slang dictionary, props are:
- Praise, Compliments...
I understand that all of you probably know this definition, but I see that some appear to have forgotten. The idea behind props is to praise someone for the content added. It's to give out a compliment for the contribution made by the user.
I have seen, sadly, several users give ENTIRE PAGES of props with the only purpose of attacking the other user, calling him/her names, bullying, insulting, etc. As I say this I'm actually scared someone will take this the wrong way and respond badly, which I honestly hope doesn't happen, because that's not the purpose of this.
I'm not going to judge anyone based on their "prop activity" because that would be ridiculous, and also I'm not familiar with the story-behind people's props or fights. However I don't think Fanpop is a place for verbally abusing anyone, and still, even when you ignore this "detail", the purpose of props is not that.
Going back to Fanpop's faq, the answer to what are props? is the following:
"Fan props are a way for fans to publicly express their appreciation for other fans and their contributions on the site."
As I said, I think props are given to someone else as a praise or compliment for that users' contribution on this site. Giving out entire pages of props with the same message that is just verbally insulting the user, I think not only goes against the purpose of the prop feature, but also against the purpose of Fanpop.
Hope nobody takes this the wrong way, just thought maybe after a few things I saw, a reminder of how props are meant to be used shouldn't be bad.
Also, although insulting (I think) is never ok, to resolve a personal issue, it is also possible to use the private message system.
