When i first came to fanpop i didn't really do anything much but make the occasional pick and watch video but when i did start to contribute più it was because of the nice commenti and messages that fan sent me that made me a addict.
I Amore to contribute for others but i Amore it even più when someone shows that they appreciate it weather it be a prop, a nice commento o message o simply rating it.
If fan hadn't of been so nice i probably wouldn't spend even a quarter of much time on fanpop as i do now, as the best thing is talking and joking with the Friends I've made on here.
So it truly does annoy and upset me when i see fan criticizing new fans. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for telling new fan about repeat picks, grammar and image credits but only if it's done in a constructive and friendly manner.
for example on a recente pick, yes it had a funny spelling mistake on the domanda itself but there was no need for fan to say stuff like
"you can't spell for crap"
"my god, what did te think the anteprima was for?"
"get a creative mind"
"seriously get a dictionary"
o another example is from a soapbox
"gee, how original"
"unoriginal and I'm not sure this passes as English?"
"what do te think spell check is for?"
"well it gave me a laugh"
now te may read these commenti and think they all must be from trolls o something, but a lot of of these commenti were from users who are generally brilliant and have always been really nice to me and other users and i do understand their frustration and i too have occasionally left a commento that was probably harsher than it should have been.
So if te are going to criticize someone
-try and make it polite
-don't be sarcastic with them
-remember English isn't everybodies' first language
-try and point out something positive
-make it constructive
I think one of the best things is when i see a fan sticking up for a new user and encouraging them
as like i detto encouragement is what made me and I'm sure many other users stick around and become addicts.
and of course all new users are brilliant, as they bring loads of new ideas and we were all new once.
