Well, I started using ファンポップ back in May 2007, and since then I see how the community keeps increasing in numbers which is great. I haven't been the most active user for a while now, but as I 発言しました somewhere else, I've always loved the site and therefore I come back every once in a while to spend some time fanpopping.
There is something I've noticed lately, that is obviously hard to control as the amount of users grows, but I thought I would point it out. What I noticed is a serious misunderstanding of the idea behind the "props" feature.
~ Let's start with the basics, according to the Online Slang dictionary, リスペクト are:
- Praise, Compliments...
I understand that all of あなた probably know this definition, but I see that some appear to have forgotten. The idea behind リスペクト is to praise someone for the content added. It's to give out a compliment for the contribution made によって the user.
I have seen, sadly, several users give ENTIRE PAGES of リスペクト with the only purpose of attacking the other user, calling him/her names, bullying, insulting, etc. As I say this I'm actually scared someone will take this the wrong way and respond badly, which I honestly hope doesn't happen, because that's not the purpose of this.
I'm not going to judge anyone based on their "prop activity" because that would be ridiculous, and also I'm not familiar with the story-behind people's リスペクト または fights. However I don't think ファンポップ is a place for verbally abusing anyone, and still, even when あなた ignore this "detail", the purpose of リスペクト is not that.
Going back to Fanpop's faq, the answer to what are props? is the following:
"Fan リスペクト are a way for ファン to publicly express their appreciation for other ファン and their contributions on the site."
As I said, I think リスペクト are 与えられた to someone else as a praise または compliment for that users' contribution on this site. Giving out entire pages of リスペクト with the same message that is just verbally insulting the user, I think not only goes against the purpose of the リスペクト feature, but also against the purpose of Fanpop.
Hope nobody takes this the wrong way, just thought maybe after a few things I saw, a reminder of how リスペクト are meant to be used shouldn't be bad.
Also, although insulting (I think) is never ok, to resolve a personal issue, it is also possible to use the private message system.

For quite a while I've been commenting on other people's picks and waiting for a reply, and refreshing the page, and refreshing the page, and refreshing the page, only to find that they haven't replied for 2 days and finally figure that they have probably gone on holiday または actually have a life.
So I have thought up an idea to keep us aware of any コメント on our comments.... whatever; anyway I have thought up of a "keep me updated" button; this means that コメント appear in our update box as if we owned the content.

I like to post my ideas in an 記事 rather than a suggestions Eメール because I like to see what my fellow ファン think. If it's getting annoying I'll Eメール あなた guys like everyone else does.
