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

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

Reason #1: Everyone likes to have the content they 제출하기 viewed and appreciated 의해 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 팬팝 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 분 on three different fanclubs; Jacob Black, Bella Swan, and Edward Cullen and rated up well over 10 pages of unrated 아이콘 on each of these damn clubs! 당신 know the award 당신 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 키싱 a boy.



Rate It!

Rating stuff is awfully fun.
It should be done 의해 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 포럼 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 포럼 and 기사 here. This is what I have:

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

2)Content 제출됨 to the VRSOF must...

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

So, having written my 팬팝 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 또는 leave it; I present it as an example of how one could rate content consistently, not necessarily as an argument for how 당신 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 팬팝 to just get 사진 of coouples and celebs i liked... then i got really into it and started to read 기사 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 질문 may annoy a lot of 팬 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 에반에센스 비디오 to be rated.

One rule stated that what I have 게시됨 must be unrated for at least a month. My 에반에센스 비디오 have been 게시됨 in the 월 of May (I think), but definitely a 월 ago. I have no idea why 팬팝 will say they were 게시됨 28 days ago, because I know for a fact that they were rated 더 많이 then 4 weeks ago. But it's alright if 당신 decide to post the...

... and here is why.

There are a number of ways in which 팬팝 will be affected 의해 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 이미지 10 times and none of us would be any the wiser. This is unfair on honest Fanpoppers who do not abuse...
