This spot was created because our wonderful internet village of fanpop has been infected with trollitis. If anda are not familiar with the term "trolls" then allow me to explain: an internet troll is a person who goes on a site atau tampilan a video just for the sake of insulting someone's interests, contributions atau opinions.
Trolls are very hurtful. Even though we know our content isn't bad, it still feels awful to see that 1-star rating on content we have added.
Quite a few trolls have been popping up on fanpop (excuse the pun) and rating many a contribution as "1 star" which are worthy of at least three stars. The aim in this spot is to notify others of baru saja troll activity and boost the rating on content/spots which have become victims of trollism.
Good luck, and happy ratings! (MAN! That was cheesey!)

We are now a few days into the spot and I read a soapbox artikel from Dazl: link
It made me think about what we are working towards: a fairly rated website. And I realised that wasn't enough, we need to stop trolls from being mean in komentar form as well as rating form. If anda see someone being mean to another user, please inform other members of the A.T.S.O.F and we'll do what we can to sort out the problem; as mentioned in ThinkPink20's soapbox (link) we can help the situation by: reporting the user, taking sides with the victim, sending the victim supportive emails atau politley ask the troll to not be horrible.
