First, I'm already sorry for the gramar mistakes I will probably make

Second, this soapbox is based on inespinto sooapbox on VRSOF spot (link)

*****

I love this spot and I always add new stuff here. But the problem is that just a few people rate it. I like to know when people like the stuff I add and the best way to know that is see the rate. I know that's not about Friends, but I think it's good to the spot.

Some reasons about why you should rate:

Reason 1 ~> When you submit a content you like when that is viewd and appreciated by other fans, specially when these are fans of Friends, a TV show that you like/love. That makes you feel like you’ve done your part in the Friends spot;

Reason 2 ~>Rate everything you see takes no more then five seconds and it doesn’t hurt. And the most important thing, it helps make the Friends spot better: it encourages new users and old users to contribute, shows users that the content they have submitted is good and, in case of bad ratings, what the user needs to improve in the future (credit, right placing, good tagging, etc);

Reason 3 ~> Rating shows you care about others, about content, about the Friends spot because it shows you have recognize the work others have put into show everyone that they love Friends

Reason 4 ~> The medals. Getting medals is a recognition of the work, time and effort you have put into Friends spot. If everyone rates fairly and objectavely, people who truly deserve will get medals.

cowgirlfromhell I completely agree with everything you said, and it's not just the Friends spot. It probably takes less then 5 seconds.

nandacavalieri Yes, of course. Every spot

amazondebs perhaps just a link to inespintos article would have been better although i am a firm believer in rating everything you see i actually think the friends spot does quite well for ratings, in some spots you can get up to a hundred views and months later it will still not be rated or there's a nasty little troll in the buffy spot rating everyone thing one at the moment (grr to them) however if there's any content of yours in the friends spot that has not been rated and it's been there over a month do report it to the [url=http://www.fanpop.com/spots/vrsof]vrsof[/url](volentary rating sqaud of fanpop) anyways you definitely do add quality content though so you have inspired me to go on a mini rating spree (just a mini one though then i have to get back to revising) :D

claire-aka-bob yeah i agree, i [b]always[/b] make sure i rate everything i see. and if i rate it and it dosn't load and i go somewhere else i always have to go back as soon as possible to make sure i rated it! ♥

nandacavalieri amazondebs... I thought about just add a link, but I also thought that more people would probably read if it was an article

amazondebs true but it's not technically a soapbox article if you've copy and pasted someone else's stuff if you had rephrased it more to link more to the friends spot e.g. Reason #1: all fans love to have their content viewed and appreciated ways to show this is to rate and leave brilliant comments and seeing as though were all friends fans that make us automatically cool and able to leave cool comments Reason #2: Rating plays a huge role in making spots full spots and ranking them high in the fanpop system, so lets get friends to the number one spot and persuade even more fans that it's a awesome show Reason #3: rating show users what you like and what you don't so they know more of what to add and what not to (good stuff=image credit and keywords) and it only takes 5 seconds you can even rate stuff while watching you fave episode that are uploaded on fanpop ect ect i really don't want to sound like i'm having a go, it's just if you go to a spot that has no soapboxes it says something like "be the first to have your say and write a original soapbox" so i just thought i'd tell you as i didn't know this either until cinders (a fellow fan) told me

nandacavalieri I can rephrased it more to link more to the friends spot and write that's based on inespinto soapbox, what do you think? I didn't know that about soapboxes, thanks for told me that =]

amazondebs yeah i think that work well and you call it your own then :)

nandacavalieri amazondebs, what do you think now? I tried to rephrased, but I'm not good at that, specially in English

becca85 Great article!! Shortly after I joined FanPop, I made it a goal to rate everything in all of the spots I am a fan of. Here I am, months later, and I am almost done with my goal (which includes the Friends club).

nandacavalieri Good goal becca85! :D
