To summarize:
1. báo cáo ATTACKERS IMMEDIATELY. bạn are doing the entire community a favor as they are probably attacking other members.
bạn MUST PROVIDE AS MUCH EVIDENCE AS POSSIBLE IN THE báo cáo FIELD, including đường dẫn 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 thảo luận is also not an attack until insults/threats etc. are mixed in.
2. DO NOT ATTACK BACK. If bạn attack back, bạn 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 báo cáo enemies, do not provide details, and/or repeatedly báo cáo people without providing evidence may also be removed from Fanpop.
Folks,
This club has caused thêm problems here at fanpop HQ than all other các câu lạc bộ 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 báo cáo it, and make sure bạn link to hoặc quote the offending content. We absolutely need all the details. If bạn simply báo cáo 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 người hâm mộ writes: "You suck and yo mamma sucks" ->You báo cáo them->Troll banned for life->You helped fanpop terminate a troll and made A&O a better place!
Bad example:
Another người hâm mộ 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 bạn mind changing it hoặc attributing it to me?"->They are NOT a Troll, NOT banned, bạn should change your fanfic immediately, and bạn just wasted everyone's time. That being said, if the người hâm mộ started the post with a slur hoặc insult, they would still be banned.
There's a saying that "you can get away with almost anything if bạn do it nicely." While we're not necessarily encouraging people to try to get away with stuff, the "nicely" part is the key takeaway.
được trao the volume of content and literally millions of fans, we cannot go and dig through a thousand các bình luận 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 bạn do respond to đã đưa ý kiến troll and there is a ton of back and forth, with both sides cussing each other out, both of bạn will be banned from ever joining fanpop again. There is a good chance moderators will xóa 100% of your content and strip your huy chương and caps, as well.
One final note: anyone posting explicit material will be banned for life without exception. The old, ugly khẩu hiệu 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 fanpop once and for all.
