To summarize:
1. レポート ATTACKERS IMMEDIATELY. あなた are doing the entire community a favor as they are probably attacking other members.
あなた MUST PROVIDE AS MUCH EVIDENCE AS POSSIBLE IN THE レポート FIELD, including リンク to the attacks.
Attacks are personal insults, threats, bigotry, etc. A person saying they don't like a contribution is NOT an attack. Having a ディベート is also not an attack until insults/threats etc. are mixed in.
2. DO NOT ATTACK BACK. If あなた attack back, あなた are probably giving the attacker/troll what they want. We won't dig through 20 pages of reports to find out who started it. Most likely, both people will be banned.
3. Reporting is not a weapon. People who fraudulently レポート enemies, do not provide details, and/or repeatedly レポート people without providing evidence may also be removed from Fanpop.
Folks,
This club has caused もっと見る problems here at ファンポップ HQ than all other クラブ combined. That is not an exaggeration.
We've lifetime-banned several of the most troublesome users and deleted all of their content. In other words, there is no coming back for them. All their contributions are gone.
"But Fanpop, how can I avoid getting banned? I'm just a nice, honest A&O fan!"
Good question, my canine-loving friend.
If someone picks a fight with you, DO NOT RESPOND, and immediately レポート it, and make sure あなた link to または quote the offending content. We absolutely need all the details. If あなた simply レポート the user without providing evidence, no action will be taken against them.
Also, we're talking about personal attacks, not normal human interactions.
Example:
A ファン writes: "You suck and yo mamma sucks" ->You レポート them->Troll banned for life->You helped ファンポップ terminate a troll and made A&O a better place!
Bad example:
Another ファン writes: "This was some interesting fanfic, but the first section is taken word-for-word from my work last week. Here's the link. Do あなた mind changing it または attributing it to me?"->They are NOT a Troll, NOT banned, あなた should change your fanfic immediately, and あなた just wasted everyone's time. That being said, if the ファン started the post with a slur または insult, they would still be banned.
There's a saying that "you can get away with almost anything if あなた do it nicely." While we're not necessarily encouraging people to try to get away with stuff, the "nicely" part is the key takeaway.
与えられた the volume of content and literally millions of fans, we cannot go and dig through a thousand コメント to find out "who started it."
Think of it this way: if teachers and parents right now don't have time to figure out "who started it", imagine if one's parents had millions of children. Are they going to have time to sift through everything?
If あなた do respond to 発言しました troll and there is a ton of back and forth, with both sides cussing each other out, both of あなた will be banned from ever joining ファンポップ again. There is a good chance moderators will 削除 100% of your content and strip your メダル and caps, as well.
One final note: anyone posting explicit material will be banned for life without exception. The old, ugly モットー has been changed, but the standards are the same, if not stricter.
The good news is that 99% of the users here are great people and not causing problems. Be cool and courteous with one another, report trolls immediately and every time WITHOUT responding to them, and, together, we'll purge them from ファンポップ once and for all.
