*Fanpoppers: Earn Your Fans ~ Don't Bribe For Them!
This can either be considered as a rambling rant 或者 as something of concern 由 a fellow Fanpopper. Over the last few days I have noticed that so many 问题 asked in the 答案 feature is in relation to users trying to increase their fanlist. I have come across at least half a dozen 问题 in various spots where users are asking other users to 粉丝 them and promising to reward them with props.
To me that just is not the appropriate way to increase one's fanlist. Your fans, just like your props, should be earned!
What bothers me is just how many people are requesting this and the fact that they are not new users to the site. If 你 have been a member of 潮流粉丝俱乐部 for 4 或者 6 months then 你 are NOT a new user and should really know better.
I'm certain that the majority of Fanpoppers also feel that this is not the correct way to go about increasing a user's fanlist.
At the time of 写作 this piece, I have 680 fans. I have not bribed one single user into fanning me. I also have never propped anyone for doing so and do not expect that any user 支持 me for fanning them either.
How I 粉丝 a user is 由 checking their 个人资料 and seeing what spots we have in common. I admit that I also tend to 粉丝 some of the "oldies" like me,LOL,as there is not too many around compared to the younger users. Also I usually tend to 粉丝 an Aussie user when I stumble across one. After all, there is only about 5% of Australians on this site so I like to support my fellow Aussie mates. Still there has to be some commonality!
I have reported various of these user request 问题 as bad 问题 and 评论 on some. Yesterday one of the users told me that if I had nothing good to say then to just say nothing at all. I was not trying to be negative nor put the user down, I was merely attempting to explain the right way to get fans.
Personally, I have nothing against holiday 或者 birthday 支持 and have even been known to multi 支持 some users for silly reasons BUT I do think it is wrong to bribe users into becoming fans.
With nearly 700 粉丝 under my belt, am I any 更多 liked 或者 better off than the user that has only 80 fans? No! At the risk of sounding ungrateful and pompous, the number of 粉丝 I have has absolutely no credibility on the kind of user I am. There are so many users that I may not even 交叉, 十字架 paths with on any spot for months 或者 have no idea what my contributions to the site are.
Also guys, have some dignity. Do 你 really want an extra 30 粉丝 on your fanlist because in return 你 gave them 15 props? I would think not, there's no satisfaction in that.
Some of these users that I have seen "begging" for fans, when I have checked their profiles I would have gladly fanned them. However,the fact that they were bribing for 粉丝 was a total turn-off for me.
If I 粉丝 a user it's because I want to do so NOT because my 支持 墙 will be rewarded with countless 支持 for it. This particular strategy of bribing for 粉丝 will certainly never work with me.
Come on,guys, contribute to the site and be active and 你 WILL have fans. But 你 will have 粉丝 for the right reason and not because 你 are offering a reward in return!
