What is a rating buddy?

A rating buddy refers to someone who rates the content tu post because they generally like the stuff tu post. It was más applicable back in the olden days when we had the rating system. But basically it just refers to friends on fanpop who rated each other's contributions because they were both adding good stuff.

As opposed to medal whores who get people multiple to rate their content no matter how crappy o poorly uploaded it is.

As long as the content your 'buddy' is adding is properly credited/keyworded/titled, good quality content then it is good to support them because its good for them, other Fanpoppers and fanpop as a whole.

I follow a few people around (*cough*stalker*cough*) and rate their content just because I know those people well and I know that their content is always good. It isn't necessarily reciprocal, but just something I do because I like supporting good content when it is shared.

What I do when I'm fanning a specific person's content is make sure that I also look out for and fan/rate other good content that is worthy of fanning in the same spot. That way you're spreading the amor around all the other good content too.
