 Yes, yes it is.
Yes, yes it is.
As some of tu may know, I often suffer from grammar-induced rage blackouts. These can be triggered por anything from a misplaced apostrophe to the incorrect usage of "your" and "you're". So, I decided to do something about it.. mostly because I'm afraid the siguiente dangling modifier I come across might send me spiraling into a violent rampage the likes of which have never been seen.

I understand that a lot of Fanpoppers are not native English speakers, and thus might not have as good a hold on our sometimes ridiculously complicated grammatical rules. Obviously, I can't fault them for their mistakes....

Right, I have been thinking about this. I have been thinking about certain things on fanpop recently and as much as I amor this place there are certain things that irk me.

Hate Spots
I've seen spots that are about hating a certain thing. I thought this place was más about sharing things we enjoy so we can give each other images, links, videos, etc not "oh I hate this and this and this". It doesn't make anything friendly.

Me Me Me Spots
I mean no offence to anyone that has these kinds of spots and has created them but fanpop isn't MySpace o any of those other social networks. It's a different...

Okay everybody on fanpop is a fan of something, tu have to be, But what is a true fan? Well, I'll tell you.
According to Webster's Dictionary, a fan is
A:
Function:    noun
Etymology:    probably short for fanatic
1 : an enthusiastic devotee (as of a sport o a performing art) usually as a spectator
2 : an ardent admirer o enthusiast (as of a celebrity o a pursuit) <science-fiction fans>

This is a great definition of a fan of a baseball team o a specific person, such as the Yankees o Brad Pitt. But is that really what the fans on fanpop are? No....

 I'm not afraid of you, Ghost!
I'm not afraid of you, Ghost!
So I was hanging out on my computer this evening, watching some videos and browsing on Fanpop, when I noticed something that disturbed me. In not one, but two different spots. I discovered several examples of what I believe to be "Ghost Accounts".

"Ghost Accounts" are what I'm calling additional accounts created por an already existing fanpop member to skew the results of a pick o an argument in their favor. I have read things publicado por other Fanpoppers suggesting their existence in the past, but hadn't knowingly spotted any for myself. Tonight I believe I spotted three different people doing...

Have tu noticed that people on this site add lots and lots of things and gain load's of fans then out of nowhere are never adding again o only add now and then. Look through your fan lista and see who is still adding and praise them for there loyalty and praise even más o even apoyo them for their work, they all deserve it.

por the way this is my first soapbox

Ok, I usually don't make user guides but this one needs to be made. I have seen a lot of picks and a lot of them are boring o annoying. Here is a lista of steps to help tu out.

1. Try to have más than three respuestas if possible. If the pregunta is "Who should Jim be with?" Put, Karen and Pam, and then put an answer like neither o Katy.

2.Always have pictures for the pregunta if it isn't a yes, no, o maybe question. Pictures bring in más fans and make the picks más interesting.

3. Try to ask preguntas that people haven't already asked and preguntas that people will be interested in. Don't make it boring.


Now these are the three golden steps to making a good, quality pick on fanpop. If tu feel I need to add anything, then please leave it in the comments.

I have a pet peeve.

As a writer, I have found my stuff publicado on other websites without my permission, and sometimes without so much as a mention that it was MY article... o a link back to the original. This ticks me off, and it is illegal to do so.

I have not come across this on fanpop with artículos yet, but I have seen it numerous times on images.

Some of the people I adore the most are even doing it. I have to assume innocence here and figure some folks just don't know... so I'ma tell ya ;)

Credit. Credit. Credit. The option to add the foto credit when tu enviar an image is there for a reason....

This is a forgery. Every single word is plagiarized. (1)

What is Plagiarism?
Many people think of plagiarism as copying another's work, o borrowing someone else's original ideas. But terms like "copying" and "borrowing" can disguise the seriousness of the offense:

According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, to "plagiarize" means

1. to steal and pass off (the ideas o words of another) as one's own
2. to use (another's production) without crediting the source
3. to commit literary theft
4. to present as new and original an idea o product derived from an existing source.

In other words, plagiarism...

Ok, there has been a growing problem that I have recently noticed on Fanpop. I have been receiving many e-mails that are very annoying and sometimes even offending. I don't care if tu are having a problem with another fanpopper o tu are telling me about a new spot. The fun part about fanpop is that tu get to discover new spots for yourself. And we might not like the certain spot. Also, if tu are having a problem with another fanpoper than just ignore them and don't tell us about that certain person.i don't want to here it. I might even be friends with that specific fanpoper. If tu are...

I was never intending to do a follow-up articulo on fanpop-addiction. I just took it for granted that I had grown happily addicted and I would remain that way. I basked in the warm, happy glow that only recognition for fanpop-contribution can give you, and looked adelante, hacia adelante to the fanpopping years ahead.

But then disaster struck. And I'm not talking about the massive floods that have hit England... (I was fine with the cellar being filled with water...)No, my internet broke and left me without fanpop.

So now, my segundo list. The lista of what happens when a fanpop-addict is forced to quit.

1. When...

Okay, first of all I don't write these artículos but now I'm fed up! Can anyone please enlighten me because I am confused. What is the problem if I o anybody else posts más links/videos/images than another fan? If I happen to be the one with the most links/videos/images o whatever on fanpop that is because I like helping out the website. It doesn't make any sense for people to feel jealous o attack me o other people for posting más content than them. That is the most absurd reason to get angry. I am posting content mainly to help out the website but I also know that some people on here...

It was just about one año hace that link and I were having our regular lunch meetups downtown in the Financial District of San Francisco. Years hace we shared a cube in Santa Clara at Yahoo! where we first met. Now we were being reunited just a few blocks away from one another and having lunch like old times. We decided to pay a visit to our favorito! hole in the wall, the International comida Court on the corner of arbusto, bush and Kearny Streets. Most people would never have spotted this joint and even if they had they would pick up their pace and keep on walking. Being the adventurous (and cheap) guys...

 No más nudity and disgusting images!!
No more nudity and disgusting images!!
Please don't post nude o indecent pictures in any spot. There are children on this website. Please don't post anything tu wouldn't want your own kids to look at. If an actress is being made fun in a picture please don't post that in their spot. And tu should know better than to post naked pictures of them also. There is a place for those imágenes and it's called PerezHilton.com. It's disrecpectful to post inhumane pictures of an actress/actor in their spot. This is fanpop not hatepop. Another issue that has been irking me is duplicate images. I know I have accidently publicado duplicates before...

I feel like it is time that I tell tu how much tu all mean to me and how fanpop has changed my life. About a año hace I became a stay-at-home mom. Which was really a blessing, however a huge stressor in my life was the fact that I had essentially no adult interaction during the día and no way of really feeling validated. I found fanpop one día while browsing for Office episodes online. I saw the picks and it looked so fun, that I just had to join! Since then I have spent hours everyday on Fanpop. It is my outlet for all the stresses of being a young mother who is nearly solely responsible...

This is merely an addition to Papa's fantastic soapbox articulo on link (a must-read) but some users have still been asking about editing a pick that they've made after they have published it. Here's a very basic how-to.


1. How the Pick's Creator can editar the pick:
If tu want to add additonal choices to your options o imágenes to them, all tu need to do is look for and click on the pencil icono on the parte superior, arriba of your pick. This will take tu back to the pick creation page where tu can freely add new options and image to your heart's desire.



2. How Voters can editar the pick:
If the creator allowed...
