hujambo everyone,
I felt like uandishi about the constant reposting of ikoni from livejournal, because I have become a very active lj user in the past months and I know of many lj people who are annoyed as hell to see their ikoni ilitumwa here.
First of all I'd like to say that I did it too. Yes, I took ikoni that were ilitumwa on livejournal and ilitumwa them here with credit.
Now wewe might say: Okay, but if people credit them, why is there a problem? It's not as if the lj people own the original pictures they icon.
This is of course true, but I think it is zaidi about respect and being polite.
Imagine wewe are someone who loves to make ikoni and spends a long time creating them. wewe post them to livejournal and wewe are happy. Then some siku wewe see that all of them are on fanpop - amongst thousands of other icons.
au wewe are someone like me, who posts ikoni to livejournal and then go to kitanda because wewe are tired, and the inayofuata siku when wewe want to post your ikoni to fanpop too, of course they have already been ilitumwa kwa someone else.
It doesn't piss me off very much, because I'm used to it and I obviously don't mind if my ikoni are on fanpop au I wouldn't have planned to post them there.
But have wewe ever thought about the lj people? Most of the graphic makers I know say something like:" Why are my ikoni ilitumwa there? If I wanted them there I would have ilitumwa them there myself. :S"
And now something to think about.
Why do wewe post ikoni made kwa livejournal users on fanpop?
Is it because wewe thought they were all so great and wewe really want to share them au is it zaidi because wewe want one of these oh-so-great-medals?
If it is because wewe want a medal, that's really sad. And I've done absolutely the same, medal-obssessed and not thinking about wether the makers of the ikoni actually wanted me to repost them here.
I'm not proud that I did that.
If wewe repost ikoni because wewe think they are great and want to onyesha them to other fanpop users - why don't wewe simply ask the maker if wewe can repost them here?
It takes a dakika to ask but it shows great respect and is in my opinion just the right thing to do.
I know, they ilitumwa their ikoni on the internet and once they do that, they have to face the fact that they'll be ilitumwa on other places too.
But put yourself in their position. Do wewe want to see your stuff ilitumwa everywhere without a single person asking?
IF they say no but wewe think their ikoni are so great that other fanpop users should see them wewe can still put a link to their ikoni here, right? ;)
I have also read about picha on the fanpop-about page, because I was interested in what the F4 have in mind.

We found that it was painful looking for good picha for our inayopendelewa topics. Whenever we went to a karatasi la kupamba ukuta site it was always plastered with ads and we were inundated with popup ads. We also noticed that mashabiki loved to make shabiki art and ikoni to express themselves but had nowhere to really share them. So we decided to create a salama and simple way for mashabiki to share all their photos, icons, karatasi za kupamba ukuta and shabiki art in one place. Now wewe can onyesha off all of your creations with other mashabiki in our galleries and easily find picha of your inayopendelewa things in a nice organized way.
I think they wanted us to post promo pictures of TV shows, photoshoots of stars and our own creations, but seriously...with everyone posting so many livejournal icons, our own creations simply get Lost amongst them, which is really sad.:/
Posting ikoni on livejournal is really organised so why would we feel the need to post them here if they aren't even our own creations?
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think many people do it because of medals, which I would then call: "The disrespectful reposting of other people's work in order to get a small green,yellow au red dot."

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,
my name is Inès, and I'm French.
As a lot of wewe know, Paris has been attacked yesterday kwa terrorists. The tamasha hall "Le Bataclan" has been attacked during a concert.
128 dead and zaidi than 200 wounded are for now counted. This is a tragedy.
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.
Thank wewe <3
