fanpop Article: If anda can't say something nice......

Yep, they do!

As a rule, I wouldn't make a big deal about this, but it has been bothering me for a long time. I understand the importance of correct grammar, spelling, and the use of the proper punctuation, and what I am about to say has nothing to do with this. I also understand having an opinion that differs with another person, but when somebody makes a pick atau writes a komentar it takes time and effort to do so. What bothers me is when people leave mean komentar about how either their pertanyaan is stupid atau even how stupid the person is for making a pick. The reason we gabung spots and make picks is because we are trying to contribute to a spot and maybe even make someone smile with something we thought was cute and witty. It is very hurtful to then have those efforts put down and belittled because someone feels like leaving a derogatory remark. I guess what I am saying is that if anda don't like a pick someone made atau think their komentar is stupid then keep that opinion to yourself. It is ok to have a different opinion than another person but there is no reason to make disparaging remarks to other people. There are better ways to express your differing opinion then to put down someone's effort atau call them stupid. When anda leave cruel and cutting remarks then anda are the one who looks silly. So, if anda can't say something nice, then SHUT UP!

johnminh Hear hear! There's so much negativity in the world already. Let's not forget fanspot is a place for FANS. We're here because we like to join with other people who are fans of the things we are fans of. Of course, if someone makes a "johnminh sucks" fanspot and it gains 9847539873589 fans, my feelings might be hurt...

missmoria Hooray for niceness!

kathiria82 Even though I feel that when you put yourself out there things like that are going to happen but I still agree with you. I don't often make picks but on one pick I made someone left me rude comments. People have to learn how to use tact when they are trying to get their points across on here. Even though someone might criticize with the intention of helping, it often comes across as rude and makes people feel bad. So like Temptasia said, just don't comment if you don't like the pick.

benji See, I agree with this, but at the same time, I often feel bad because while I try to be nice, often I'm sarcastic in what I say and it may be misconstrued as me being mean. So this is me, saying here and now, I don't intend to be a dick if you've ever thought I was coming across as such :) One phrase is needed: use tact before you act!

tubby2002 I totally agree, it is just childish and mean to insult someone online, that you dont even know. I cant stand poeple like that and dont understand why people do it.

rookyboy I dont want to sound mean now but people who log on just to be mean and rude have nothing better to do, as there is no reason what so ever to say or be mean to any one ever. But this is a very good point that if you can't think of anything funny or nice to say jog on lol.

harold Here's a suggestion, which emilee suggested to me: if you have a problem with a particular link or other content on the site, either report it or send the user a message, rather than posting a comment to that effect. The reason for this is that, if you are persuasive and not just rude, the original poster will likely edit the content (if its anything other than a question/pick), and then you won't be stuck with your public comment that doesn't make sense anymore.

DrDevience Oh. I love snark-fests - Send me to them, I'll whup em fer ya.... HA!

ali22 Well said Temptasia :) My mum always said to us.....if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all!

AmyFitz I always say nice things. :) Or if I differ in opinion, I usually just point it out in a rational, polite way. Nice article! xxx

marissa spread the love. *gives the peace sign and sings "kumbia" (sp?)*

knifewrench I like that "tact before you act" thing that benji came up with :) I've heard more than one account of nasty happenings on fanpop but I have only seen one inpolite message about a scrubs video (AmyFitz quickly sorted that miserable git out, go you!)

kateliness2 I try and always be polite. I made my first pick not too long ago and someone actually put "Who cares??" as another choice. Its just not nice, people! Good article!

Temptasia This was the featured soapbox for about 4 days. Thanks guys!

knifewrench Eh?

DarkSarcasm Nicely put, Temptasia. =)

vider69 I agree, some people have nothing better to do than bag other peoples spots, if you don't like it, don't join, very well put.

jarik I try to be courtious and positive in my comments.

tiddles thats so nice!!

jedigal1990 totally agree if you can't be nice then don't say anything keep other people feeling in mind sure you can nicely say that you don't agree but theres a way to say it and a way not to say it everyone is entitled to their opinon if you don't agree fine but be polite when you are mean you look petty and foolish like you said in your article and just get others upset so think before you comment and show a little maturity

niomevega whatever you guys guys are just so lame there i just said something mean arrest me! god grow up guys this is the real world and u will just have to deal with it its all about the meaness so fuck off bitches!!!!!!!!

Mongoose09 niomevega, please grow up. you are embarrasing yourself!

Introducing: THE SEARCHBAR! It's a users best friend.

posted by germany123

As usual I'm not delusional enough to think that I can prevent spam- of course not!
But I get so tired of seeing the same things over and over in my update and then typing the same stuff over and over. Also people dont seem to grasp the use of kata kunci so maybe this will help some in that respect,too.

Now I know the searchbar is scary! I saw it for the first time myself when I was a new user and was reluctant to try it. Who knows what might happen when anda click that cari button!?! But one hari I summoned all my courage I tried and it didn't hurt. Now there was a surprise! Back then there was...

Hello fanpoppers! Gabriella here with some things about Fanpop. Just wanted to say some things...

According to current fanpop users, the people [on fanpop] are annoying and mean. Well let me just komentar on that- that is true!

Yeah, I could be mean at points but this is the dang internet! Nobody MUST like you! It is a choice to like one another but anda have to tampil some respect!

When anda look at a user's profile. anda may think: Oh.. so this person likes glee and scooby-doo? What anda think is different from what anda do. Remember that. If anda go on their wall, before anda post hate and though...

A few fanpop changes that would make my hari everyday!

posted by alismouha

Quizzes:

Expand viewing answerers to ALL fanpoppers,not just from the fanlist.

Being able to ubah the kuis at all times,and not just the question,but the 4 answers.

Giving lebih creative names for super-quiz milestones,shortening them up a little,and making the current prize visible on the profile.

Giving a time to answer a quiz,people sometimes go on websites to check their answers,it's not fair!

Not making a for number of characters for answers.

Stop deleting kuiz for the wrong reasons,research it first (I know how many kuiz get reported everyday,but it's their job,isn't it?)
