Fanpop Article: SAVE ME! I was trolled! ...or was I?

Right, well the Название is a bit sarcastic. The whole "trolling" thing is sorta annoying me that having a low rate on something HAS to mean Ты 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 Ты 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 звезда article
- They may not agree или think your opinion is totally outrageous...not a trolling

Images
- Would Ты like that quality of a picture? Try and avoid small and bad quality looking images
- Credit? People will go and give Ты bad ratings if Ты don't credit
- Keywords, keywords, keywords...make them useful, using a few duplicates puts a frown on lots of faces

Videos
- Same as images, Ключевые слова are essential
- The video may not work (or they don't realise they have to click the lil blue arrow)
- Is it in english? always helps или is the video in sync? (lips Переместить when sound comes)

Links
- Would the link help you? If it wouldn't it might not be helping them and they're just letting others know
- Does the link go to the correct page? Sending someone off to a different page from the Название could result in bad rating

These are just a few things as to why Ты might have a bad rating on something. Ты didn't get trolled so put that нож down, they just might not agree with your opinion. Not the end of the world, at least they viewed your content which is something that's nice to know and I promise Ты that Ты won't die.

harold I'd rate this higher, but it's a little brief (another criterion for articles, along with original content). Bravo, in any case. The anti-troll rhetoric here bothers me a bit, too...not so much because differing opinions are viewed as troll behavior (though that is irritating), but because virulent hysteria against even genuine trolls is as offensive as the original troll behavior. Rise above, folks, don't fight fire with fire.

DrDevience Yep! If you have no image credit, or little to no keywords on anything... then that low rating may very well have been from me. I take no prisoners!

ineedcoffee Also if it is a duplicate, no need to have the same image or video more than once unless the video is broken but then the broken one should be taken down.

Snerkie good points :) usually i remember about duplicates because that frustrates me a bit (especially when the two are on the same page :\)

amazondebs two on the same page? wow that is bad i do like to help in the troll squad but if something is reported and i go and look at it, i will still rate it fairly in fact i gave you a 4 snerkie as it's good and very honest but like harold said a wee bit brief

knifewrench [i]"- They may not agree or think your opinion is totally outrageous...not a trolling"[/i] If you base you're ratings on you're own opinion rather than the quality of the content then that is an unfair rating; maybe not trolling but a bad rating none the less. It just turns into YouTube's thumbs-up/thumbs-down comment system. Other than that you hit the nail on the head: crap content can't be trolled ;)

Snerkie yeah but it's still not trolling :P lol. It is a bad way of rating if someone rates by a negative opinion (ie. i hate this character so 1 star) but then there's the opinion side of "you have no idea what you're talking about and didn't even research" 1 star. So it can be taken two ways.

hooch-is-crazy and then there's whether comments are trolling, i once saw one of you're comments that wasn't much more than a disagreement being called troll comments.

Cinders These are some excellent points, Snerkie. A few more about soapboxes: If it's not original content, or if it's short enough to be a forum post, I will generally rate it lower. And SERIOUSLY about the images, guys-- I see so many without even key words lately! Work on that, people! My god!

harold's Fanpop Madlibs-like games

posted by harold

Amazondebs had the marvelous idea of making Fanpop mad-libs...see the link. This Статья was last edited on 21 October 2008 to try to explain how the game works a little better...

What is a Mad-lib?
Specifically, Mad Libs is a registered trademark of the пингвин Group (USA). Generally, a mad lib is a kind of word game where the player is presented with a questionnaire, prompting for several seemingly Болталка types of words. The player fills in the words, then goes to another location to plug the words into the corresponding places in a block of text, which results in a silly, funny, naughty or...

How to steal Иконки from livejournal

posted by caramelmilk

cadley@livejournal

Livejournal can be quite confusing for people who don't use it, so here's a short guide including the most important things Ты have to think of when crediting Иконки from livejournal.

Why do I even have to credit?
You won't go to jail if Ты don't, but...
1.)People spend quite some time making Иконки and crediting them is a sign of respect
Think about how Ты would feel if Ты made some Иконки and suddenly you'd find them on some other site without your name mentioned anywhere.
2.)So Ты repost some pretty Иконки from livejournal, another fanpopper sees them and wants to see еще Иконки from the person...

Now, I Любовь Благодарности as much (or more) than the Далее person and when I go to my page and see that someone has дана me a благодарность I am in a happy little bubble for the rest of the day. I think this is a wonderful feature so that people can be recognized for their outstanding work. However, there is a etiquette that goes along with giving props. Благодарности are something Ты should give if Ты feel that a person has contributed something funny, substantial, unique, outstanding, или just plain awesome in your eyes. They are essentially a reward for hard work that Ты have done. They are like a virtual high...
