I have a pet peeve.
As a writer, I have found my stuff gepostet on other websites without my permission, and sometimes without so much as a mention that it was MY article... oder a link back to the original. This ticks me off, and it is illegal to do so.
I have not come across this on Fanpop with Artikel yet, but I have seen it numerous times on images.
Some of the people I adore the most are even doing it. I have to assume innocence here and figure some folks just don't know... so I'ma tell ya ;)
Credit. Credit. Credit. The option to add the Foto credit when Du Abschicken an image is there for a reason. It is to protect Fanpop from massive headaches later on, and Du from being sued.
Du might Suchen for Bilder on Google, but that is not who to credit. When Du find the image Du want, there is a URL under it when Du click on the image. From there it is easy to find the name of who owns that image. If it is not cited, then Du need to cite that website in the credit to protect both yourself and Fanpop.
Not citing the copyright owner is theft, pure and simple. Besides, it is just the right thing to do.
As Fanpop grows, Mehr and Mehr people are going to be taking notice. They are going to see their Bilder were taken without citing the owner. We do not want that kind of trouble around here.
In the case of movie and book covers, cite the studio oder publisher of the book. That is way-easy to do. In the case of Fotos of stars and what have you, the photographer is the way to go, unless Du can't find that info, then like I said; cite the website Du found it on, oder the star.
Please please please make the effort to do this. I do not want to see the Tag that Dave and Papa are forced to waste time removing thousands and thousands of Bilder because we did not take the time to do it right and legally...
Thank you, Drive through.

It's so frustrating. Du create a spot, oder find a spot Du like and add all sorts of content, yet nobody rates it. Days go Von . . . weeks . . . nothing. Now, Du have lots of fans, but do they know your spots oder the content you've added? Are Du familiar with your Fans contributions?
Here's an idea. Look at your fans. Go their profiles and look at their activity. Check out what content they've added. Du don't have to Mitmachen the spot if you're not a true Fan of the subject, but that shouldn't stop Du from rating the content. Try to answer some of their Quiz questions. Look over their links, videos, and/or images. Rate what Du see. Make it a monthly event. Choose one Tag each Monat and on that Tag choose one of your Fans and rate his oder her activity.
Von exploring your fans' activities you'll help them as well as find out Mehr about them. Who knows, Du may learn something new and perhaps find something new of which Du can be a fan.
