So it is now 1:19 AM and I've been Membaca some things link and I just thought I share some of my feelings and ideas about why people should rate.

I'll make a senarai because it's simpler and I'm a little sleepy:

Reason #1: Everyone likes to have the content they hantar viewed and appreciated sejak other fans. I, for once, like it a lot when people view what I've added, rate it and comment. Makes me feel like I've done my part in the Fanpop community and like I've pleased others (which I like);

Reason #2: I'm not exactly sure how it works but, from what I've read, rating plays a huge role in helping...

just really wish people could participate in rating contributions and just rate a hell lot more!

I just spent a good 20 minit on three different fanclubs; Jacob Black, Bella Swan, and Edward Cullen and rated up well over 10 pages of unrated ikon-ikon on each of these damn clubs! anda know the award anda have for rating contributions that's on your profile? Well, over the last single week mine went up from being in the 7000's to know 8929, if not more! Because all week I was rating things that were left totally deserted, and I didn't want the posters to feel unappreciated so I rated them. All because...

We have a serious issue
Here on Fanpop.
Such a serious issue
That must certainly stop.

Here are some poems that I wrote about the art of rating. They are not very good and they are not very creative, but they come from a deeply emotional place in the pit of my soul.

Enjoy.



Rating: An Acrostic.

Rate
All
Terrific
Images
Now!
Go!



Rating: Another Acrostic.

Rating is
Always
Terribly
Interesting
Never
Grim



Rating, Rating.

Rating, rating,
It's so cool.
Rating, rating,
Makes me drool.
Rating, rating,
Brings me joy.
Rating, rating,
Like Ciuman a boy.



Rate It!

Rating stuff is awfully fun.
It should be done sejak everyone.
Whether it's...

Ok, guys, most of us have link, and I think it's time we get started on making a new forum.

So, we've decided to create a new forum where all the guidelines are placed at the top. This way, everyone will be able to have them handy and it will make things easier for new members.

I am compiling some guidelines that I've found on various forum and artikel-artikel here. This is what I have:

1) Content telah dihantar to the VRSOF for rating must not have been rated sejak anyone (unless the person submitting the content has already rated the content before posting the link).

2)Content telah dihantar to the VRSOF must...

This artikel describes the criteria I apply to rating content on Fanpop, and was last edited on 17 June 2008.

So, having written my Fanpop User's Guide link (in which I suggest that users should apply consistent criteria for rating content on the site), I figured that I could provide an example in my own ratings criteria. Take it atau leave it; I present it as an example of how one could rate content consistently, not necessarily as an argument for how anda should rate content.

Ratings vs. Reporting: Before I begin listing my criteria for the four kinds of content that can be rated (links, videos,...

My new addiction = This spot!!

I came on Fanpop to just get foto-foto of coouples and celebs i liked... then i got really into it and started to read artikel-artikel and socialise.
But one thing that i never realised was that rating was a big deal and that cheating occured.

Sooooo guess what i did?
I rated EVERYTHING i started to look at... and at first i admit i forgot to rate but now when i go somewhere i rate... feels good ya know :)

I dont rate if the person has alot of ratings and i know of them being a -cough-medalwhore-cough- but when i come across peoples art been uploaded and hasn't been rated...

I have a feeling that this soalan may annoy a lot of peminat-peminat on this spot, but please let me explain before commenting;

I did read the guidelines of the VRSOF spot, and I think it would be alright if I asked for my Evanescence video to be rated.

One rule stated that what I have telah diposkan must be unrated for at least a month. My Evanescence video have been telah diposkan in the bulan of May (I think), but definitely a bulan ago. I have no idea why Fanpop will say they were telah diposkan 28 days ago, because I know for a fact that they were rated lebih then 4 weeks ago. But it's alright if anda decide to post the...

... and here is why.

There are a number of ways in which Fanpop will be affected sejak this new rating system, and I can't think of a positive one. Here are the main issues for me.



Cheaters Ahoy!

As the new system does not indicate how many people have rated an image/video/link, this will make it much, much easier for people to use multiple accounts to rate their own contributions. As other people cannot see how many people have rated an image, someone with multiple accounts could rate their imej 10 times and none of us would be any the wiser. This is unfair on honest Fanpoppers who do not abuse...
