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.

Want 5-star ratings back on Fanpop? Here is your chance...

Folks, we're deciding the future direction of Fanpop, and one of the सवालों is if we should bring back five-star ratings to replace the "fan of it" button.

VRSOF hasn't been active due, in part, to the lack of a downvoting system . The "fan of it" button was part of a larger Internet trend towards simplifying voting, but it's entirely possible that it turned it down too far.
