 Frage 7..Where can I find the FAQs?
Question 7..Where can I find the FAQs?
Basically this will be a collection of all the picks asking "HOW DO I- insert basic function here ?" (usually with the options IDK and PLZ tell me in commentz) and my short answer to these inquiries. Now that we have the new Antwort feature they are usually gepostet as an answer request but still repeated endlessly.
I usually Berichten these kind of picks/answers and they get deleted as they are effectively spam. The drawback is: all information users leave in the Kommentare is lost.

link seems to only be used Von a limited number of Fans and though I use it frequently I hate how all information is Lost in the multiple pages after a while.
I found the officiallinkdon't cover all the basics as I usually like to refer people there.

Also this is in no way meant to rival the very well writtenlink which is much Mehr detailed.

Who are the Fanpop Four (F4)?

They are the link and run this place.

Okay, this has been brewing in me for a while and I think that now is the time to bring it all out into the open.... I speak of the burgeoning conflict that is the rating-to-comment ratio.

Lets break this down; On numerous occasions, I have added various Links to many different sites, and always venture back to see what people think of the link, oder their reaction to it (be that positive, negative, oder even criticism towards me). But over the last few months it has become increasingly obvious that people are rating the link, but leaving no comment!

The way I see it, its like breaking into your...

On some Clubs this is not a problem. However in Mehr active spots people tend to check mark the box so people will view their pick more. It is VERY stupid there is three types of picks spoiler, not spoiler, and ones that need to be marked spoiler. I shall now give some examples of each.

I'm not leaving, munchkins..I know Du are slightly disappointed now and were waiting for some eDrama (or happy to see me FINALLY desert the pop to live on my farm full time and stop clogging your "answers") but it's just boring old me sharing my thoughts on reporting. Forgive me..it's Sunday..and I had the time.
I sometimes stumble across obvious spam (yes, I'm talking aboot Du chinese shoe and handbag sellers!) on this site that has been there for months and I wonder why it was never removed. I also see Quizze where people have been informed of a mistake and yet months later the wrong quiz...
