This spot was created because our wonderful internet village of fanpop has been infected with trollitis. If wewe are not familiar with the term "trolls" then allow me to explain: an internet troll is a person who goes on a site au maoni a video just for the sake of insulting someone's interests, contributions au opinions.
Trolls are very hurtful. Even though we know our content isn't bad, it still feels awful to see that 1-star rating on content we have added.
Quite a few trolls have been popping up on fanpop (excuse the pun) and rating many a contribution as "1 star" which are worthy of at least three stars. The aim in this spot is to notify others of hivi karibuni troll activity and boost the rating on content/spots which have become victims of trollism.
Good luck, and happy ratings! (MAN! That was cheesey!)

We are now a few days into the spot and I read a soapbox makala from Dazl: link
It made me think about what we are working towards: a fairly rated website. And I realised that wasn't enough, we need to stop trolls from being mean in maoni form as well as rating form. If wewe see someone being mean to another user, please inform other members of the A.T.S.O.F and we'll do what we can to sort out the problem; as mentioned in ThinkPink20's soapbox (link) we can help the situation by: reporting the user, taking sides with the victim, sending the victim supportive emails au politley ask the troll to not be horrible.

I'm bored. Meh.
(Sung to Symphony Number 5 in C Minor, First Movement)
I am a troll,
And I find it droll,
To rate content low,
So a bad rating it shows.
I am a plague and a pest,
Abusive and cruel at best,
Attack contributions for fun,
Thou I submit none.
I fill my time,
With maoni sublime,
On how other users are gay,
And how'll they'll never get laid.
I live to be hated,
Until my boredem is sated,
Social networks are my haunt,
Plenty of losers to taunt.
So if wewe see a post,
Who mwandishi wewe want to roast,
Think of me and cry,
My kind never die.
