Fanpop Etiquette Article: My Experiences With Fanpop

posted by vider69

I've only been with fanpop since mid June this year, it was a bit confusing at first but I joined a few spots, made a few pics, saved some of my favorite videos, worked out how to use my mailbox, contributed to a few spots, created my own spot and made a few fan friends. However when we had the recent image problem things became more confusing, I couldn't ad pictures to other spots and couldn't work on my own spot so I'd log in to check my mail and the image dilemma and log straight back out again.
Then tonight (after MUCH boredom) I realized it wasn't just about the images (even though that helps of course) but also all the other fun things on fanpop that got me addicted to start with. So I logged in and went through all my spots, saved and rated some more videos (I didn't know I could save links) and came across some great links which I saved and I'm loving it.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, even though we've all had image problems it's worth the wait because there's so much to do on fanpop and it's like one big happy family and that's why I love it. And the reason why I wrote this article for the etiquette spot is because I suppose I've done enough complaining (at least to myself anyway) and the etiquette part 'to me' is appreciating what we can about fanpop while we wait for this all to be fixed. Well that's what I've learned and don't expect any pictures with this article. LOL. (I did try to ad an image, I don't think it worked) Cheers.

The Unofficial Etiquette Guide to the Fanpop Answers Feature

posted by Cinders

Hello, seekers of good answers to burning questions! It has come to my attention that an official guide to using the new Answers feature is necessary in order to prevent abuse of this fabulous new fun feature.

I stumbled across fanfly's question about the link for this feature and answered the question with a list of five things I think are the most important to keep in mind. Urged by germany123 to make it into a soapbox, I present to you the Official Rules of the Fanpop Answers Feature.

1) If you know the answer to the question, don't ask. This should be fairly clear already, but answers are...

Enough Is Enough

posted by vider69

I am so sick of all the nastiness and sarcasm that goes on in Fanpop, through the forums, via fan pick questions and comments left regarding images etc.
And I'm sick of being so nice about it when there's only so much one person can take, I've almost left Fanpop on a few occasions because of 'some' peoples attitudes here and I'm over it.
I have been on Fanpop for almost a year now and I'm not nasty to people, I get on here and do my thing and contribute as much as I can, but if I cop anymore shit or see people being nasty to other people here I will report them and I'll name all of the 'nasties'...

Your Spot Or Not Your Spot?

posted by vider69

I think that this article belongs here in opposed to 'Fanpop Spots' because it is a Fanpop Etiquette issue, as well as a spot or club issue.
When you join a spot it appears in your updates as one of your spots and so do the ones you create, I've heard some people say that a spot that you created 'isn't your spot' now I know that the spots belong to Fanpop and I realize that 'most' of you would be very proud of your creations just as I am of mine.
However if you are the spot creator then 'in my opinion' the spot is yours to some degree, you create the spot, only you can change the banner, icon...

Heterosexism on Fanpop

posted by Cinders

So I tried to think of a catchier title, but I figured I might as well just call it what it is. I have seen instances of (what I believe to be unintentional) heterosexism in several Fanpop picks. As evidenced by link, however, some believe it to be intentional.

Now I'm not trying to whine about wording or being politically correct. In fact, I'm not politically correct in the slightest, as anyone who knows me well enough will tell you. And this issue isn't really a big deal, I just wanted to make people aware of it and ask their opinions on it. So do you find these things odd?

The type of picks...
