Opinion by ClaireB58 posted 8 months ago

This topic may already exist as a soapbox but I have to say that things on certain spots seem to being rated one star CONSTANTLY. People have complained in forums on more than one occasion, no fan would rate something one star if they liked the subject the spot was dedicated to, has anyone else noticed this on any spots?

It happens on the One Tree Hill spot, and others related to it, I'm sure that someone else is really annoyed about this!! It is really childish! Sometimes it is pages of content all rated one star and somehow I feel convincedthat it is NOT a coincidence!!!

Can you please comment!

Well Claire, you're in luck, there happens to be a spot which deals with victims of 1-starring. Here's the URL: http://www.fanpop.com/spots/atsof

Judging from the way this article has been rated, I'd say the person who has 1-starred your content is what is sometimes called a "vengance troll". These are people who have some stupid grudge against the person who posted the content and goes around rating one person's content as "1 star".

actually yes fans would rate one star on a spot that they like if it was
a. blurry
b. no image credit
c. no key words

however ther is a lot of unfair rating on the site why don't you report it to the anti troll squad of fanpop

there's a couple of forums that will help :)

speaking of, i might be wrong about this i'm not sure but i think this is more of a forum queary than soapbox material

Yay! Debbs, we did a simultaneous comment!

Although I do think this IS best as a soapbox. It attracts attention to an important issue: the trolls. if it was a forum topic it would go unnoticed.

like amazondebs said, some people rate low for the no credit, etc. Some would on spots because they don't like the character...also this was probably rated low because this kind of issue has bee discussed before me thinks.

whooooo go us!
yeah some people might but you shouldn't really that's unfair but still some people must annoy!

yah i know what you mean knifewrnh but i think the reason why this is rated low by others and myself (sorry) is that it's short and well yeah repeated
but i thought soapboxes were like articles rarther than questions

Oh right. Man, I'm a dumbass..... Yeah they are supposed to be articles. I've been an idiot and have made soapboxes which are neither articles or written by me XD

I agree with debs and snerky. Good point to raise, ClaireB58, buy there have been plenty of soapboxes on this issue and this IS a little short to warrant a soapbox. But it's always a good thing to remind folks of.

We would welcome you with open arms at the A.T.S.O.F spot.
