Fanpop Etiquette Article: Double Up Spots

11

posted by vider69

I don't really know how to start this as I've only been on fanpop for a little over a month now, but it's just 'my opinion' regarding the spots that 'double up' as I call it. When I first joined fanpop I noticed there were quiet a few double up spots such as Buffy, Spuffy, Angel and Bangel, there's at least two Disney spots that I know of and many spin off spots such as Enchanted, Bambi and Ariel, there's many icon and avatar spots, there is double up spots and triple spots, but my point is I don't care because if I'm a fan of say: Buffy (and I am) I'll join 'everything' I can find related to that piece, whether I double up or not because what I can't find on one spot I'll find it on another.
Many of you may not agree with me and I don't expect anyone to do so, maybe some of you like a few spots on the one topic and some of you don't, I like fanpop just the way it is, the more spots, the better.

Spotty_Vision21 I mostly agree. Although, repeat spots are bad. For example, it's okay to have a Buffy spot and a Spuffy spot, but not good to have and icon spot and a user icon spot.

vider69 There's a couple of disney spots and variety spots not to mention a heap of link ups like bambi and ariel but I like them all, I'm just addicted I guess. Cheers.

Snerkie If there's a "Buffy" Spot and then a "Buffy Spot" spot, you should report the "buffy spot" as a duplicate as that's a clear duplicate. Some spots like Bambi make sense as you can add the images and the picks and quizzes, everything just concerning that easily and find it easy even if people give them bad keywords (not encouraging that though)

vider69 I just join the spots I like I don't care if it's a double spot a triple spot or what if I like what I see I join it.

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...

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'...

Proper Etiquette For Fan Pick Questions

posted by vider69

I have created quiet a few spots now and I love contributions of any kind, but I am surprised at how many people will pick on 'any' fan pick question just for the sake of it even if they don't like the subject at hand.
Perfect examples of this behavior is what I have noticed not only on spots that I've created but many other spots as well, someone may put up a question such as: 'Do You Like The Movie Enchanted?' and someone will answer 'Never Seen It' or another question, say - 'Which Bambi Photo Is Your Favorite?' only for someone to come up with 'I Hate Bambi.'
It's not whether you are a fan...

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...
