Basically this will be a collection of all the picks asking "HOW DO I- insert basic function here ?" (usually with the options IDK and PLZ tell me in commentz) and my short answer to these inquiries. Now that we have the new majibu feature they are usually ilitumwa as an answer request but still repeated endlessly.
I usually ripoti these kind of picks/answers and they get deleted as they are effectively spam. The drawback is: all information users leave in the maoni is lost.
link seems to only be used kwa a limited number of mashabiki and though I use it frequently I hate how all information is Lost in the multiple pages after a while.
I found the officiallinkdon't cover all the basics as I usually like to refer people there.
Also this is in no way meant to rival the very well writtenlink which is much zaidi detailed.

I am not here to lecture wewe yet again on picha crediting. I am done with that.
I am way past the lecturing and into downright grrrrrr-ville.
wewe already know full well that taking something wewe did not create and not giving full credit to the owner is theft. Your excuses mostly boil down to laziness at this point.
So.
This is my public notice that any and all picha with no credit to the original owner of the image will be rated harshly no matter how great the picture is... au how much I normally like you.
Additionally, if there is a blatant Copyright notice right there on the damn picture and wewe still failed to credit the owner, I'm reporting it to fanpop -and- notifying the owner of the image that wewe aliiba it.
Enough is enough.

A few dakika zamani I thought of a partial answer to the hivi karibuni outbreak of internet trolls we've had over the last few moths.
Ladies and Gentlepoppers, I introduce to you:
The ATSOF (The Anti Troll Squad Of Fanpop)
This will be a society of fanpoppers who work together to justly rate any content which has (without reason) been rated low.
My plan is to make an ATSOF Spot; if a spot au particular piece of content has been rated low wewe can alert the ATSOF spot about this and some of the "fans" of the spot will head over to the content and rate the content fairly, therefore boosting the rating.
Please tell me what wewe think; I don't want to create a Ghost-Spot-to-be

If we make a new spot we want to make it popular. Recently I made a new spot so when I wanted to send a message to all my Marafiki about it I got tired of typing individual messages so I quit. So we should be able to send one message to all our Marafiki at the same time if necessary. Also there should be an area that says "new spots" on the nyumbani page so that people can see what has been recently created and if they want to jiunge the particular spot. It would really make the people who created the spots happy because they could get some good publicity.
kwa the way I made a new spot about Kal Penn, the indian guy from the van wilder movies, Harold and Kumar go to white castle, and Epic Movie.
So if u like those sinema check it out. all wewe have to do is type "Kal Penn" in the tafuta engine" (obviously, I know)
Also this soapbox was ment for the fanpop spot

Hello to everyone,

I was born and I've lived in Paris, and I often go there and to the Bataclan to attend concerts, and seeing this, is just awful. The whole country is shocked and desperate.
3 national days of mourning have been declared.
I invite wewe to leave a few words, thoughts for the victims of this disaster.
