Hi there guys, your friendly neighborhood PLH here with an odd, backwards kind of request from you.
Now it has been berkata before that this spot is an excellent place in terms of fan rating other user's content! I mean on the majority of foto anda may be getting 10+ rates, most of the icon anda might be finding 4 atau 5 rates on each one, which is a lot diberikan how many of them there are!! Even most of the screencaps have been rated, which even my rater whore self wouldn't be able to do! So yes, this spot is an excellent place for your content to be rated! So anda may be asking why i am making a forum on this but I do have one, strange, issue with the rating on this spot:
I think that in general we rate things too high!! Quite often when I get to the pictures (icons atau whatever) I find that they are all rated 5 stars, atau 'awesome' as fanpop classifies it. Now this can be interpreted in a few ways:
1) The fan here are very very very very very nice!! But we knew that anyways!!
2) People aren't looking at each individual thing they rate, just rating.
3) There is nothing wrong with this, all the content here is awesome!
4) We have a minor problem...
And the last option is the one I am going to explain for anda here.
The point of rating on this website is so that fan can differentiate between content, as judged oleh other fans. This way, anda could easily see the better icon in a huge bunch of them because they would have a higher rating. However when they are all rated 5s anda can't do that, and it makes rating pointless apart from helping other fan getting medali (which isn't even necessarily true...).
So what I am recommending is this:
What we seem to be doing now is rating everything we come across with a five, but how about we tone this down a little? Make your default rate a 4, which is still classified as 'great' oleh the rating system. This way will allow us to see the difference between the usual content we see added constantly every day, and the content that really shines out and deserves special attention.
Also, rating everything as a 5 constantly means that when anda see something anda really really really like, there is no way of tampilkan that unless anda comment, but that doesn't help new other fan find it! oleh rating everything a 4 anda can highlight the awesome content hidden in all the great stuff!!
Some other points I want to bring up on rating in general:
1) anda should never rate something low because of your opinions on the character/ship! This is another form of bashing, and really not cool people! If it a good article/picture/etc then it deserves a good rating, regardless of whether anda agree with it atau not!!
2) Please do always rate. It is so frustrating to see a picture with 100 atau so tampilan and only a couple of rates! link wrote an excellent link on this a couple of days ago.
3) Don't rate low just for the sake of it! This is called trolling, and it very frustrating! If someone has put a lot of effort into something, atau even a little, it deserved to be recognised! Don't go round rating 1s and 2s for the sake of it!
4) This is lebih aboot adding content, but anda should always try to use kata kunci (my test for what makes for good use of kata kunci is "if I was looking for this would I be able to find it quickly?"). Also, crediting is very important!! If anda are adding something to fanpop but didn't make/write it yourself, then the person who did deserves the credit! Now if anda don't know who to credit, anda could just fill the box with "I don't know" atau "I am unsure", atau something along those lines!
5) Along similar lines, when anda come across an image/article/link with poor keywording and credit, try not to give it 5 stars, regardless of how good it is. in my mind something only deserves 5 stars if it has the whole package. And to be honest, is it really [i]that[i/] hard to add a few kata kunci to the things anda add??
Ok, I know that article/rant was kind of long and boring,but thank anda guys for reading, means a lot to me!! My main point I'm trying to get across is...
