After seeing this link which happened to tooch and a few other incidents, I think it's high time for me to write a guide for the Paramore spot. Well, generally, all the Paramore-related spots and clubs.




I'm going to touch on 3 topics in this article:
1. Image crediting
2. Keywords
3. Repeated contents

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

1. IMAGE CREDITING
Please take some time to read this link par misanthrope86.
ou this link par DrDevience.
ou this link par Cinders on plagiarism.

If toi don't know what the Image credit section is for, well, that section is to give credits/praise/recognition to the people who took the photo/screencap and those who made the fanart/wallpaper.

A BAD example of image crediting:



eryfjfuj is not an image credit. It's... NONSENSE.

An example of correct image crediting:


So take a look at the image above, notice the name Kieran Frost at the image credit section? That shows that I'm giving credits and recognition to the photographer of the photo, Kieran Frost, which also shows that Kieran Frost is the one who took the photo and not ME!

If you've posté a fanart, give credits to the artist of the fanart.

If you've posté a screencap, well, toi can give credits to yourself if you're the one who took the screencap. Better still, give credits to the producer of the video.

For example, the musique video for Misery Business was produced par the Warner musique Group. So give credits to the Warner musique Group!

Okey, what if toi don't know who to credit?
a. Google and Wikipedia are your best friends.
Example: If toi don't know whose name to put in the image credit for the Pressure screencaps you've posted, use Google to find the producer of the musique video ou toi can always check Wikipedia.

b. "I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHO TO CREDIT!!!'
If toi have seriously do not know whom to credit, be nice and put a link to the original image in the comments.

*whiny voice* "WHY SHOULD I GIVE CREDITS? IT'S NOT THAT IMPORTANT!"
If that is what toi think, then I'll feel really sorry for toi when you're charged with plagiarism one day. :( Keep in mind that photographers and artists have feelings too! Would toi like it when a photo that you've taken ends up in somewhere else and that person who stole your image did not give credits to toi ou gave credits to him/herself?

I wouldn't like that at all.


2. KEYWORDS

This is a BAD EXAMPLE OF KEYWORDING:



The mots-clés section are there for toi to fill up. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE IT BLANK!

Here's a GOOD EXAMPLE OF KEYWORDING:



So, this is exactly the SAME picture like the one before. Compare the mots-clés in both the photos.
Michelle121094 put "paramore, hayley williams, jeremy davis, taylor swift" as the keywords, where else luly98 did not put any mots-clés at all!

*groans* "Why the hell should I do that?"

Simple. To benefit YOU and the other Fanpoppers. Let's just say if toi want to chercher for an image that you've posted, toi can chercher for that particular picture with the correct keyword in the chercher toolbar.

Example: Now I want to find that picture of the Paramore band members and Taylor Swift- the exact image above. So I type: paramore taylor swift in the chercher toolbar.



CAN toi SEE IT? Take a look at the photo at the bottom part of the image above. The photo posté par Michelle121094, comes out in the chercher results. But the photo posté par lulu98 didn't! Why? Because of the keywords! Do toi see the importance of mots-clés now? I hope toi do.

Remember to put proper and useful mots-clés when toi post an image. Do not just put "paramore" as your image's keyword. There's no use if toi do so since ALL THE IMAGES in the Paramore gallery are ALL PARAMORE-RELATED.

Example:
toi see Hayley Williams, Taylor rapide, swift and Jeremy Davis in the photo. Then, put all of their names in the mots-clés section. toi know the jour that photo was taken was Josh Farro's wedding, so put "josh farro, wedding" in the mots-clés section too.

BE plus SPECIFIC WHEN GIVING KEYWORDS! :)


3. REPEATED CONTENTS *headdesk*

I see this...



and I see this AGAIN the suivant day...



REPEATED CONTENTS ARE NOT COOL.
Well, they're outdated so to speak. Since someone has already posté the picture, why post it again? Not only it takes up space, it's also unnecessary.

IDK about the others but if a picture that I've posté is reposted AGAIN par a fellow fanpopper, I'll be... annoyed. I mean-seriously, what's the point of reposting it again??

AND NOW THAT'S WHY... USE THE chercher TOOBAR.

It's there for YOU! To make sure that the content (pick, image, video, link, quiz, question, forum...) that you're about to post has not yet been posted, use the fanpop chercher toolbar [look up... there's a grey toolbar with the term "Search Club'] to check.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTE: I understand if toi didn't know that a content has already been posté before ou toi made a mistake and toi forgot to give image credits and keywords... Everyone makes mistakes. I've made these mistakes many times as well, so I've been trying to perfect my Internet etiquette as well.

But please... DO MAKE AN EFFORT to follow the guidelines when you're contributing to the spot.

If anyone (including me) has told toi that a particular contribution of yours has already been posté ou toi left the mots-clés and credit section blank...

"To err is human, to forgive is divine."

Don't be upset! There's no need to, really. All that we (especially me) want is for the spot be neat, tidy and in order. Just correct your mistake and everything else is fine. ♥

Thank toi for lire and remember to follow the guidelines! =)
