Okay, first off, that titre is a lie.
Based on the way things are going with the new club update feature so far, I thought we could use some guidelines. These are not official, they are merely suggestions on how to decide on a new icone ou banner as a team. Only large clubs have the new suggestion options, so there are thousands of people there whose opinions count! (Not that smaller spots aren't valuable, toi guys rock just as hard.) The suggested steps for changing a club's look are the same up until Step 3 for both large clubs with the new vote feature, and smaller ones with user-run votes for change.
It's important to remember that fanpop is a community, and should do things as a group. Randomly starting a vote for a new icon, banner ou background is rude to other club members. Making icones and banners takes time, and the first options (likely made par the person who started the poll) are donné the unfair advantage of being there the longest. Early voters aren't likely to check back in every jour to see if new options have been added. Following these steps will help ensure that everyone has a fair chance to participate and that all options are donné the same amount of consideration. (It'll also keep toi from getting yelled at.) Now, let's get to it, eh?
Step 1: Ask the fans!
Make a vote to determine if the club even WANTS a new icon, banner ou background.
I usually leave this vote up for a week, unless the results are overwhelmingly in favor of one option ou another after a few days.
If the club votes no, try again in a few months. If the club votes yes, proceed to step 2.
Step 2: forums & Advertisements
Create a forum for suggestions from other users. link is a récent example of a spot makeover that went smoothly, if you'd like to see how that goes.
I like to leave a suggestion forum open for a week ou two. If it's a small spot with just a few participants, just a week will probably do. Users can always ask for plus time on submission forums I start. You'll need to include the dimensions of the icone and banner in your forum post. icones are square and 100x100 pixels ou larger. Banners are 800x100 pixels, ou a size that scales down to that. (1600x200, 2400x300, etc.) This is important, because images that are not those dimensions will be stretched when uploaded to the spot, and that ain't pretty.
It's also a good idea to annoncer the suggestions forum, in case someone missed the initial poll. The most effective ways to do that are liens and polls, but adding a mur post too wouldn't hurt. liens are probably the best way, because adding liens to a club bumps it to the front of the mosaics on user profiles. This lets users know that something is going on in a club even if they've overlooked it in their updates, especially for inactive spots.
Step 3: Voting & Change
Once everyone has soumis their creations, this is where it can get a little tricky...
If you're voting in sets, make a graphic with all the options paired together. Then toi can create your vote and link to the image in the comments, so users can see it all at once and pick the set they like most. I've found that this is the fastest and simplest way, as it only requires one vote and it's very unlikely that the club will end up with a mismatched set. (I'm not quite sure how to accomplish this with the new voting feature for large clubs yet.)
If users didn't soumettre their graphics as sets (or if you're running the contest in a large spot with the special polls), I prefer to vote for the banner first. It's larger, it took plus work, and it's easier for users modify their icones to work with the new banner instead of vice versa. After the new banner is determined (a week should be enough time if it's a small club, fanpop sets its own deadline for votes in large clubs), it's time to pick an icon. What I like to do for these is to pair each icone contender with the winning banner in one graphic, so users can see what each icone will look like with the new banner. Link to it in the commentaires of the icone poll. This doesn't guarantee a matching set, but it helps reduce the Clash of the Graphics that often happens when the icone and banner votes run simultaneously.
Unless the spot in need of a change doesn't have an icone ou banner at all, toi should include the current ones in the polls.
The special votes for large clubs are monitored par fanpop, so toi don't need to do anything once those are over. If you're overseeing a change in a smaller spot without that options, a moderator will help toi with the change if toi ask nicely and provide liens to the suggestion forum and the winning polls. (link is my go-to Mod.)
Told toi the titre was a lie.
As toi can see, there's a lot plus to changing a club's look than just clicking a link and uploading an image. It takes a responsible user willing to put in the time and effort of organizing, advertising, making sure everyone is included and following the guidelines, and in the case of smaller spots, reporting the results to a moderator. If toi can't handle that, please leave the job of overseeing a spot change to someone who can. There's no shame in letting someone plus experienced take the reins!

I am not here to lecture toi yet again on photo crediting. I am done with that.
I am way past the lecturing and into downright grrrrrr-ville.
toi already know full well that taking something toi did not create and not giving full credit to the owner is theft. Your excuses mostly boil down to laziness at this point.
So.
This is my public notice that any and all images with no credit to the original owner of the image will be rated harshly no matter how great the picture is... ou how much I normally like you.
Additionally, if there is a blatant Copyright notice right there on the damn picture and toi still failed to credit the owner, I'm reporting it to fanpop -and- notifying the owner of the image that toi a volé, étole it.
Enough is enough.

A few minutes il y a I thought of a partial answer to the récent outbreak of internet trolls we've had over the last few moths.
Ladies and Gentlepoppers, I introduce to you:
The ATSOF (The Anti Troll Squad Of Fanpop)
This will be a society of fanpoppers who work together to justly rate any content which has (without reason) been rated low.
My plan is to make an ATSOF Spot; if a spot ou particular piece of content has been rated low toi can alert the ATSOF spot about this and some of the "fans" of the spot will head over to the content and rate the content fairly, therefore boosting the rating.
Please tell me what toi think; I don't want to create a Ghost-Spot-to-be

If we make a new spot we want to make it popular. Recently I made a new spot so when I wanted to send a message to all my Friends about it I got tired of typing individual messages so I quit. So we should be able to send one message to all our Friends at the same time if necessary. Also there should be an area that says "new spots" on the accueil page so that people can see what has been recently created and if they want to rejoindre the particular spot. It would really make the people who created the spots happy because they could get some good publicity.
par the way I made a new spot about Kal Penn, the indian guy from the van wilder movies, Harold and Kumar go to white castle, and Epic Movie.
So if u like those films check it out. all toi have to do is type "Kal Penn" in the chercher engine" (obviously, I know)
Also this soapbox was ment for the fanpop spot

Hello to everyone,
my name is Inès, and I'm French.
As a lot of toi know, Paris has been attacked yesterday par terrorists. The concert hall "Le Bataclan" has been attacked during a concert.
128 dead and plus than 200 wounded are for now counted. This is a tragedy.
I was born and I've lived in Paris, and I often go there and to the Bataclan to attend concerts, and seeing this, is just awful. The whole country is shocked and desperate.
3 national days of mourning have been declared.
I invite toi to leave a few words, thoughts for the victims of this disaster.
Thank toi <3
