So, I've been on the Spuffy spot for awhile, and I can tell आप that its slow. So I'm wondering what's up with this. Extremely Active Spot या Medal Whoring. The same thing happened in the screencaps sections of this spot.

huddysmacked Well this is kinda like medal whoring but I'd be more worried if it was like 20 persons fanning the content.

chameron4eva Exactly, but this person is also adding duplicated caps (which is my biggest pet peeve) and had them all rated within the hour. It was just fishy.

othobsessed92 ^^same here...this is NOTHING compared to the completely ridiculous medal whoring that goes around here- content rated by 20-40 fans! This could be medal whoring but not something that is too devastating =)

misanthrope86 Is other people's content being rated by 4 people as well? If it is, then I would say that it is most likely an active spot. If not, then that person is probably getting people to rate for them. To me, medal whoring is medal whoring, whether its 4 raters or 40. The issue is that one person's content is being prioritised over other people's for no good reason other than that person thinks that they deserve a medal more than anyone else.

SUPERGRL The spot could just be active. I mean, look at this photo. It's been 2 hours and there's been 4 fans also.

misanthrope86 Nah, I just checked it out and other people's content hasn't been rated at all. So that person is getting people to rate for them. Lame. This is a rating focused spot, so pretty much everything here has a lot of ratings.

How I Rate Content

posted by harold

This लेख describes the criteria I apply to rating content on Fanpop, and was last edited on 17 June 2008.

So, having written my फैन्पॉप User's Guide link (in which I suggest that users should apply consistent criteria for rating content on the site), I figured that I could provide an example in my own ratings criteria. Take it या leave it; I present it as an example of how one could rate content consistently, not necessarily as an argument for how आप should rate content.

Ratings vs. Reporting: Before I begin listing my criteria for the four kinds of content that can be rated (links, videos,...
