This article describes the criteria I apply to rating content on Fanpop, and was last edited on 17 June 2008.
So, having written my Fanpop User's Guide entry for Ratings (in which I suggest that users should apply consistent criteria for rating content on the site), I figured that I could provide an example in my own ratings criteria. Take it or leave it; I present it as an example of how one could rate content consistently, not necessarily as an argument for how you should rate content.
Ratings vs. Reporting: Before I begin listing my criteria for the four kinds of content that can be rated (links, videos, images, and articles), I want to point out that there are a lot of things that I don't consider when rating. Chief among these are anything that should be reported. This includes any broken or miscategorized content, as well as any copyrighted content that is not identified as belonging to a third party.

Reason #2: I'm not exactly sure how it works but, from what I've read, rating plays a huge role in helping a pending spot become a full spot and for me that's important because not only I think that a lot of the spots deserve to be full spots. I have contributed quite a bit to a number of spots that are not official yet and I'm thinking part of it it's because of the lack of ratings;

We have a serious issue
Here on Fanpop.
Such a serious issue
That must certainly stop.
Here are some poems that I wrote about the art of rating. They are not very good and they are not very creative, but they come from a deeply emotional place in the pit of my soul.
Enjoy.
