We've all seen the fanpop Spotlight tabs. That little display area on the homepage that let us know about the latest celebrity gossip, new Televisione episodes, and upcoming movies. But ever since joining Fanpop, i've always wondered why the Spotlight is just limiting itself to popolare visual media. Why should television, movies, and actors just get noticed. Congratz, te have oficially stumbled upon my idea for più Spotlight Tags!

Music - Celebrities
Who just released a new single o won at the Musica Awards? Who is starring in an upcoming movie? What's something scandalous a celebrity did at the club last might? Many could argue that the "Hot Topics" tab could pretty much cover all of this. But for those of us who are possibly-maybe-slightly OCD, it's another way to keep everything organized. The downside is that it would take più room, though.


Books
There's no way to describe how amazing it would be to have this tab. (To me at least^^) We could learn what book is being made into a movie, and what the superiore, in alto bestseller is! Not to mention when the newest book in a series is coming out. If that doesn't sound great, then I don't know what does!


Around The World
What better way to mostra fanpop diversity than mostrare what's going on around the world. Maybe they could feature different countries o Holidays and events that are going on then! What discoveries were made lately and where?


Blast From The Past
Not really something important, but it would be something fun to feature. Famous Film from the past -Grease, The Goonies. What trends were popolare back then and now coming back into style?

Okay, for the past two months I have steadily grown addicted to this website. Maybe it's all the free time I have these days, o maybe it's just I have an addictive personaily. It could of course be that this website is pure brilliance and I constantly think about it. Does that make me sad? No way! Because I can bet I'm not the only one. So here's a checklist of how to know when you've crossed the line between fanpop-addict, and totally-crazy. :)

1. te form an opinion on something and think "I'm going to immediately make a pick about this"...and then the rest of your plan for the giorno goes out...

Hey everyone,

I felt like Scrivere about the constant reposting of icone from livejournal, because I have become a very active lj user in the past months and I know of many lj people who are annoyed as hell to see their icone postato here.

First of all I'd like to say that I did it too. Yes, I took icone that were postato on livejournal and postato them here with credit.
Now te might say: Okay, but if people credit them, why is there a problem? It's not as if the lj people own the original pictures they icon.
This is of course true, but I think it is più about respect and being polite.

Imagine you...

To like o not to like? That is the question.

Earlier tonight, the ratings system of fanpop experienced a massive overhaul. No longer can te rate content on a scale of one to five (ala YouTube), but if te like content, te can "like" it (ala Facebook), o "be a fan" of it.

Dave gave a very good, logical explanation for the change to help assuage some fears and answer some questions:

"Hi Guys,

Thanks for making this pick. There are a lot of reasons we wanted to create a new system for deciding whether fan like something o not. We found that most people were rating either 4 o 5 stars so we thought...

If you must promote a club, try these tips.
Re-reading the various articoli about promoting club on Fanpop, it occurred to me that some fairly basic ideas were missing for promoting the club te like (not just the ones te create, but any club te enjoy).

Many of the precedente etiquette articoli and forum threads have described things to avoid in promoting a club, as well as suggestions for things to do. For once, I'm not going to rant about undesirable behavior (that's the plan, anyway), but just keep the focus on other things fan can try to promote their preferito clubs.

 I hate those darned internet predators, don't you?
I hate those darned internet predators, don't you?
I just logged onto fanpop about a half ora fa and discovered something extremely profane and inappropriate on the YouTube spot. Due to it's heavily pornographic material, the video was deleted shortly thanks to several reports from some handy fellow Fanpoppers.

It was inviato da a user of the name bon8699. I reported this user 3 times and I expect him to be banned for a long, long time.

The reason I am so annoyed that this was inviato is that this is not some pornography site. And this is most certaintly not NewGrounds, where te can invia immagini like this as much as te please without...

I swear to whatever higher power te believe in that I am going to injure someone with all the shoddy spelling going around. Yes abbreviations are easier (in a sense) but it looks like a 5 anno old wrote it and a lot of people don't understand it. So lets first go over some abbreviations that we should cut out of our vocabulary here at fanpop when te post content...

u = you
r = are
srs = serious
2 = to o too (using it as "two" is fine)
plz = please

If te actually take that .5 of a secondo to type the whole word people will look at your content, commento and such a lot più and with nicer comments...

I am not here to lecture te yet again on foto crediting. I am done with that.

I am way past the lecturing and into downright grrrrrr-ville.

te already know full well that taking something te did not create and not giving full credit to the owner is theft. Your excuses mostly boil down to laziness at this point.

So.

This is my public notice that any and all immagini with no credit to the original owner of the image will be rated harshly no matter how great the picture is... o how much I normally like you.

Additionally, if there is a blatant Copyright notice right there on the damn picture and te still failed to credit the owner, I'm reporting it to fanpop -and- notifying the owner of the image that te ha rubato, stola it.

Enough is enough.
 This may be the most popolare pick EVER

Right, well the titolo is a bit sarcastic. The whole "trolling" thing is sorta annoying me that having a low rate on something HAS to mean te were trolled...well maybe there's a different reason. I'll break it up to why that might not have been a trolling...

Soapboxes
- Did te use proper grammar? Check your spelling
- What's a paragraph? Learn how to use paragraphs properly to make your soapbox formatted and not look like a 1 stella, star article
- They may not agree o think your opinion is totally outrageous...not a trolling

Images
- Would te like that quality of a picture? Try and avoid small and bad...

Yes, I am fired up again over another issue of cruelty here on Fanpop... specifically the practice of passing judgment on other users.
    Let's face it, we do not know each other personally, and for the most part none of us have ever met in real life. I think it is cruel and sad that people find it necessary to try to judge the intentions o actions of others. How could anyone possibly judge another person o their actions without knowing them personally o knowing the things they are going through. te could not possibly say what te would do in their situation without...

Okay, I don't know if it's just coincidence but I noticed this week that some picks just are, I don't quite know how to describe it, bad.

It just seems that a lot of picks are asked so that they are asked, a lot of them don't have pictures. (that's not very important but I can't help noticing)
But the worst thing is that there are so many typos in the questions. Look, my English is not very good, I make a lot of mistakes but al least I try to make as less as possible. I mean, a lot of domande are just so wrong, the 'preview' thing that te get when you've finished making your pick is there...

A few minuti fa I thought of a partial answer to the recente outbreak of internet trolls we've had over the last few moths.

Ladies and Gentlepoppers, I introduce to you:

The ATSOF (The Anti Troll Squad Of Fanpop)
This will be a society of fanpoppers who work together to justly rate any content which has (without reason) been rated low.

My plan is to make an ATSOF Spot; if a spot o particular piece of content has been rated low te can alert the ATSOF spot about this and some of the "fans" of the spot will head over to the content and rate the content fairly, therefore boosting the rating.

Please tell me what te think; I don't want to create a Ghost-Spot-to-be

If we make a new spot we want to make it popular. Recently I made a new spot so when I wanted to send a message to all my Friends about it I got tired of typing individual messages so I quit. So we should be able to send one message to all our Friends at the same time if necessary. Also there should be an area that says "new spots" on the home page so that people can see what has been recently created and if they want to unisciti the particular spot. It would really make the people who created the spots happy because they could get some good publicity.

da the way I made a new spot about Kal Penn, the indian guy from the furgone, van wilder movies, Harold and Kumar go to white castle, and Epic Movie.

So if u like those Film check it out. all te have to do is type "Kal Penn" in the cerca engine" (obviously, I know)

Also this soapbox was ment for the fanpop spot

Writers Note: This has some strong opinions. I wrote it for my blog. Therefore, it was meant to state my opinions loud and clear with no respect for others. Sorry about that guys, but if you're sensitive, proceed with caution. I'm also very liberal.

Well, we've been in Iraq for five years as of Wednesday. And now we might be getting into the same thing in Iran. Nothing is certain, that's just my opinion. te think they'd actually learn after the first time. te know, maybe if we've been stuck in this damn place forever where it's kinda hard to withdraw, that we shouldn't do it again.

This part of my link details how te can format text in your postings on Fanpop, and the articolo was last edited (to fix typographical errors) on 17 July 2013.

TEXT FORMATTING
Those of te who have written soapbox articoli before may have seen the guide that fanpop provides for formatting text. But maybe you've never written a soapbox articolo o never noticed the key, and have been wondering how some users manage to make their text più interesting. With these tags, te can:
* boldface your text
* put your text in italics
* underline your text
* have your text point to a different url link

I thought I would put this on here because from what I understand this in not something that happens very often. I thought it was a fun way to pubblicità the spot and get new members.
