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