Hi there guys, your friendly neighborhood PLH here with an odd, backwards kind of request from you.
Now it has been कहा before that this spot is an excellent place in terms of प्रशंसकों rating other user's content! I mean on the majority of चित्रो आप may be getting 10+ rates, most of the आइकनों आप might be finding 4 या 5 rates on each one, which is a lot दिया how many of them there are!! Even most of the screencaps have been rated, which even my rater whore self wouldn't be able to do! So yes, this spot is an excellent place for your content to be rated! So आप may be asking why i am making a मंच on this but I do have one, strange, issue with the rating on this spot:
I think that in general we rate things too high!! Quite often when I get to the pictures (icons या whatever) I find that they are all rated 5 stars, या 'awesome' as फैन्पॉप classifies it. Now this can be interpreted in a few ways:
1) The प्रशंसकों here are very very very very very nice!! But we knew that anyways!!
2) People aren't looking at each individual thing they rate, just rating.
3) There is nothing wrong with this, all the content here is awesome!
4) We have a minor problem...
And the last option is the one I am going to explain for आप here.
The point of rating on this website is so that प्रशंसकों can differentiate between content, as judged द्वारा other fans. This way, आप could easily see the better आइकनों in a huge bunch of them because they would have a higher rating. However when they are all rated 5s आप can't do that, and it makes rating pointless apart from helping other प्रशंसकों getting पदक (which isn't even necessarily true...).
So what I am recommending is this:
What we seem to be doing now is rating everything we come across with a five, but how about we tone this down a little? Make your default rate a 4, which is still classified as 'great' द्वारा the rating system. This way will allow us to see the difference between the usual content we see added constantly every day, and the content that really shines out and deserves special attention.
Also, rating everything as a 5 constantly means that when आप see something आप really really really like, there is no way of दिखा रहा है that unless आप comment, but that doesn't help new other प्रशंसकों find it! द्वारा rating everything a 4 आप can highlight the awesome content hidden in all the great stuff!!
Some other points I want to bring up on rating in general:
1) आप should never rate something low because of your opinions on the character/ship! This is another form of bashing, and really not cool people! If it a good article/picture/etc then it deserves a good rating, regardless of whether आप agree with it या not!!
2) Please do always rate. It is so frustrating to see a picture with 100 या so देखा गया and only a couple of rates! link wrote an excellent link on this a couple of days ago.
3) Don't rate low just for the sake of it! This is called trolling, and it very frustrating! If someone has put a lot of effort into something, या even a little, it deserved to be recognised! Don't go round rating 1s and 2s for the sake of it!
4) This is और aboot adding content, but आप should always try to use कीवर्ड्स (my test for what makes for good use of कीवर्ड्स is "if I was looking for this would I be able to find it quickly?"). Also, crediting is very important!! If आप are adding something to फैन्पॉप but didn't make/write it yourself, then the person who did deserves the credit! Now if आप don't know who to credit, आप could just fill the box with "I don't know" या "I am unsure", या something along those lines!
5) Along similar lines, when आप come across an image/article/link with poor keywording and credit, try not to give it 5 stars, regardless of how good it is. in my mind something only deserves 5 stars if it has the whole package. And to be honest, is it really [i]that[i/] hard to add a few कीवर्ड्स to the things आप add??
Ok, I know that article/rant was kind of long and boring,but thank आप guys for reading, means a lot to me!! My main point I'm trying to get across is...
