 I hate those darned internet predators, don't you?
I hate those darned internet predators, don't you?
I just logged onto fanpop about a half heure il y a and discovered something extremely profane and inappropriate on the YouTube spot. Due to it's heavily pornographic material, the video was deleted shortly thanks to several reports from some handy fellow Fanpoppers.

It was soumis par a user of the name bon8699. I reported this user 3 times and I expect him to be banned for a long, long time.

The reason I am so annoyed that this was soumis is that this is not some pornography site. And this is most certaintly not NewGrounds, where toi can soumettre images like this as much as toi please without...

I swear to whatever higher power toi believe in that I am going to injure someone with all the shoddy spelling going around. Yes abbreviations are easier (in a sense) but it looks like a 5 an old wrote it and a lot of people don't understand it. So lets first go over some abbreviations that we should cut out of our vocabulary here at fanpop when toi post content...

u = you
r = are
srs = serious
2 = to ou too (using it as "two" is fine)
plz = please

If toi actually take that .5 of a seconde to type the whole word people will look at your content, commentaire and such a lot plus and with nicer comments...

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.

Right, well the titre is a bit sarcastic. The whole "trolling" thing is sorta annoying me that having a low rate on something HAS to mean toi were trolled...well maybe there's a different reason. I'll break it up to why that might not have been a trolling...

Soapboxes
- Did toi use proper grammar? Check your spelling
- What's a paragraph? Learn how to use paragraphs properly to make your soapbox formatted and not look like a 1 étoile, star article
- They may not agree ou think your opinion is totally outrageous...not a trolling

Images
- Would toi like that quality of a picture? Try and avoid small and bad...

Yes, I am fired up again over another issue of cruelty here on Fanpop... specifically the practice of passing judgment on other users.
    Let's face it, we do not know each other personally, and for the most part none of us have ever met in real life. I think it is cruel and sad that people find it necessary to try to judge the intentions ou actions of others. How could anyone possibly judge another person ou their actions without knowing them personally ou knowing the things they are going through. toi could not possibly say what toi would do in their situation without...

Okay, I don't know if it's just coincidence but I noticed this week that some picks just are, I don't quite know how to describe it, bad.

It just seems that a lot of picks are asked so that they are asked, a lot of them don't have pictures. (that's not very important but I can't help noticing)
But the worst thing is that there are so many typos in the questions. Look, my English is not very good, I make a lot of mistakes but al least I try to make as less as possible. I mean, a lot of questions are just so wrong, the 'preview' thing that toi get when you've finished making your pick is there...

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
 Our troops have been bravely fighting for far too long.

Writers Note: This has some strong opinions. I wrote it for my blog. Therefore, it was meant to state my opinions loud and clear with no respect for others. Sorry about that guys, but if you're sensitive, proceed with caution. I'm also very liberal.

Well, we've been in Iraq for five years as of Wednesday. And now we might be getting into the same thing in Iran. Nothing is certain, that's just my opinion. toi think they'd actually learn after the first time. toi know, maybe if we've been stuck in this damn place forever where it's kinda hard to withdraw, that we shouldn't do it again. But apparently...

This part of my link details how toi can format text in your postings on Fanpop, and the article was last edited (to fix typographical errors) on 17 July 2013.

TEXT FORMATTING
Those of toi who have written soapbox articles before may have seen the guide that fanpop provides for formatting text. But maybe you've never written a soapbox article ou never noticed the key, and have been wondering how some users manage to make their text plus interesting. With these tags, toi can:
* boldface your text
* put your text in italics
* underline your text
* have your text point to a different url link

I thought I would put this on here because from what I understand this in not something that happens very often. I thought it was a fun way to annoncer the spot and get new members.

Okay, I know I haven't been the most active lately but I really feel like the abuse and bullying between members here is a real big push back for me. Every time I come on there is some sort of bullying happening in some spot. And I will be honest and say that it IS mainly the OTH type spots.

A perfect example of this? link. These commentaires happened 2 ou so hours before I wrote this article, not months il y a so it is a relevant thing. I don't care if toi think I am pin pointing anyone because both sides in bullying count, not just the initiator.

"So look at what *name* said:

I almost a dit this on yet another Twilight pick in yet another irrelevant spot, but I felt that the user would feel targeted, when really this isn't about that individual user, it's about the Twilight fans in general.

I have heard from some Twilight fans (note: I a dit "fans" and not "fanatics" and in this case, there is a very large difference) that they are actually afraid to go into the Twilight Spot anymore because of all the enthusiastic Twilight fanatics. Now that's OK. fans (or fanatics) of any topic can be as crazy as they want within the confines of their own spot. House, One arbre Hill,...

It's so frustrating. toi create a spot, ou find a spot toi like and add all sorts of content, yet nobody rates it. Days go par . . . weeks . . . nothing. Now, toi have lots of fans, but do they know your spots ou the content you've added? Are toi familiar with your fans contributions?

Here's an idea. Look at your fans. Go their profiles and look at their activity. Check out what content they've added. toi don't have to rejoindre the spot if you're not a true fan of the subject, but that shouldn't stop toi from rating the content. Try to answer some of their quizz questions. Look over their links, videos, and/or images. Rate what toi see. Make it a monthly event. Choose one jour each mois and on that jour choose one of your fans and rate his ou her activity.

par exploring your fans' activities you'll help them as well as find out plus about them. Who knows, toi may learn something new and perhaps find something new of which toi can be a fan.

I know toi folks are tired of hearing about crediting images. I'm not here to beat that into your head yet again. I've already done that... and I continue to do it in commentaires on your images when toi forget.

No. This time I am here to give toi a helpful tip. A lot of toi have paid attention and are now putting a credit on your images. Thank toi for that! The problem now is a lack of film knowledge, which is very forgivable.

You see, when it comes to movies, forget what I a dit earlier about crediting the website toi got the image from if toi can't find the actual owner of the image. With movies,...
