The Picks Spot: Don't Abuse the Priviledge

I have some things to get off my chest.

First of all, I created the Picks Spot because I had noticed a lot of picks that didn't really apply to the spot they had been placed in. Also, I was thinking of a lot of picks that didn't really belong anywhere and I wanted a place to put them.

Please don't make an inappropriate pick. It makes me very unhappy and nauseous personally, so, just don't do it.

The Picks Spot is nice because of the fact that your picks don't really have to make that much sense, but don't go too crazy. On a similar note, it's important that people know what you're saying. Internet slang is fine with me, if I know what on earth you're talking about.

Another important topic I want to make light of: If you can think of another spot where your pick might belong, put it in that spot. I'm ashamed to say, I've made that mistake. (The Catsup or Ketchup Pick I made really belongs in the Food Spot.) If you absolutely can't figure out where to put your pick, well that's what the Picks Spot is for.

That's all I suppose. Thank you for reading.

I do hope some people take this article to heart. I'm going to have to unsubscribe to the Picks spot if those "Have you ever been to..." continue. It's taking up my entire update space.

Same thing is happening to me. My entire updates page is full of questions that should really belong in a different spot.

yeah, it's a bit frustrating the "have you ever been to..." since there's heaps and they only apply to a few people. I like picks when people put effort into them, not quickly written, no thought to it "Yes/No" picks.

Thank you! I agree with you heartily! I had almost a whole page of picks questions- esp. those "have you ever been to..." ones! I like the fact that this spot has random questions- but if people keep abusing it, I might also have to unsubscribe. Thanks for saying something- I hope people listen!

Standing Ovation!

Especially on this part here:
"Another important topic I want to make light of: If you can think of another spot where your pick might belong, put it in that spot. I'm ashamed to say, I've made that mistake. (The Catsup or Ketchup Pick I made really belongs in the Food Spot.) If you absolutely can't figure out where to put your pick, well that's what the Picks Spot is for."

Someone could always make a "Have you ever been..." spot ;-)

But seriously, this is an excellent point. The better things are categorized, the better fanpop works for everyone. And if you ever create a spot that you realize is miscategorized, just flag it as such and we'll try to fix it (if you think it goes somewhere very specific, just pm us).
