April Fool's dia 2012 boné, cap

One thing that's becoming mais and mais prominent as time goes on, is that people online don't feel the need to use good grammar and spelling. Now, despite the fact that when on IM or whatevs, it's really fine to use all of these little abbreviations like "jk" "lol" "atm" etc. etc. etc. Before I get any farther into this uncontrolled rant, let me just say that I do use some internet slang. Most of this, however, are words that I make up. So, whatevs, deelie, yuppers, wazhappenin, etc. etc. etc. I'm not one to use mainstream slang other than "lol" because there is NO replacement for LOL. No,...

Ok, now I know that there are other artigos out there about keeping fanpop clean in terms of language and being appropriate but it is obviously not enough seeing as people continue to ignore it.

I am not por any means trying to be rude or bossy. I am not your mother. My goal in composição literária this is hopefully a common one among fanpop users, to make fanpop a joyful place for all users.

Topic 1: Language
I myself am very guilty of inappropriate language on Fanpop. I have said some things where if I think twice was not a good idea. I understand that some people say things out of habit and can do it without...

... or someone's way to scream at somebody.

Today's fanpop has mais people mean and sarcastic then others. I'm not against it, but I don't have to be.

For those "yelled" at constantly, that means you're doing something WRONG! And it only leads to disaster. What might you do wrong?
• Spamming
• Spelling names wrong
• Using incorrect grammar
• Posting miscategorized pictures, picks, questions(answers), etc. to a spot
• Hating on the person's spot
• Impersonating a celebrity
• Making a hate spot

If you do any of those things, you WILL be yelled at or sarcastically talked to. And don't be...

In the past few months, we've all received many different gifts. I've saved the best for last.

Happy New Year!

I sincerely hope the past holiday season was celebrated por you and those you amor safely and happily.

My favorito gifts this time of ano are the simple ones. Gifts that never go out of style and always fit right - friendship and love. the holidays have a way of reminding me I should be sharing these gifts, not only during these special times, but all ano long.

It is within my power to make two persons happier in the seguinte few minutes, simply por telephoning someone who has blessed and...

Okay, for the past two months I have steadily grown addicted to this website. Maybe it's all the free time I have these days, or maybe it's just I have an addictive personaily. It could of course be that this website is pure brilliance and I constantly think about it. Does that make me sad? No way! Because I can bet I'm not the only one. So here's a checklist of how to know when you've crossed the line between fanpop-addict, and totally-crazy. :)

1. You form an opinion on something and think "I'm going to immediately make a pick about this"...and then the rest of your plan for the dia goes out...

Hey everyone,

I felt like composição literária about the constant reposting of ícones from livejournal, because I have become a very active lj user in the past months and I know of many lj people who are annoyed as hell to see their ícones posted here.

First of all I'd like to say that I did it too. Yes, I took ícones that were posted on livejournal and posted them here with credit.
Now you might say: Okay, but if people credit them, why is there a problem? It's not as if the lj people own the original pictures they icon.
This is of course true, but I think it is mais about respect and being polite.

Imagine you...

To like or not to like? That is the question.

Earlier tonight, the ratings system of fanpop experienced a massive overhaul. No longer can you rate content on a scale of one to five (ala YouTube), but if you like content, you can "like" it (ala Facebook), or "be a fan" of it.

Dave gave a very good, logical explanation for the change to help assuage some fears and answer some questions:

"Hi Guys,

Thanks for making this pick. There are a lot of reasons we wanted to create a new system for deciding whether fãs like something or not. We found that most people were rating either 4 or 5 stars so we thought...

Re-reading the various artigos about promoting clubes on Fanpop, it occurred to me that some fairly basic ideas were missing for promoting the clubes you like (not just the ones you create, but any clubes you enjoy).

Many of the anterior etiquette artigos and fórum threads have described things to avoid in promoting a club, as well as suggestions for things to do. For once, I'm not going to rant about undesirable behavior (that's the plan, anyway), but just keep the focus on other things fãs can try to promote their favorito clubs.
