My point is you can't control toddlers.

It's harmless and funny to some, but it's unnecessary. I don't think of it as spam since they don't go on every thread and be like "Ranzo is cool" "Ranzo my AMIGO!!!!" and stuff. It's funny for most. One thing I get annoyed by is the pfp. I often get confused. But the fanclubs are extremely unnecessary. The WBO is to discuss beyblade releases, the anime, and other stuff. Not to make a fanclub and get people to join the "pfp club" I got very annoyed by the Ranzo pfp. Chad Valt isn't that bad but it's still annoying. I just decide not to read fanclubs. Now if you wanna go ahead hating on a thread you DON'T even have to click on be my guest.

You may not love or appreciate others' opinions or ideas, but some people do. You're majorly embarrassing yourself trying to control other people and stop fanclubs. Just because ONE person doesn't like them, does that mean everyone HAS to follow? Even if you were being civilized about it, I don't think anyone would agree with your arguments. Fan clubs fit in here as much as anything else. Tell me, just because you don't like them, that makes it spam?
Your arguments are kind of embarrassing, and you're the one who needs to correct themself, not USN. He was the one making a polite comment, which I agree with him 100% Fan clubs are not spam. This is a Beyblade Discussion Website, and the characters are likable so people are allowed to make fan clubs. Sure maybe Fan "clubs" aren't the best way to put it, but I 100% agree with threads named "Who likes Ranzo?" or something along those lines. I don't like them very much, but fanclubs are DEFINITELY not spam. Other people are allowed to discuss characters just as much as products, and the last time I checked, "Ranzo" was associated with beyblade. Please, try to respect others' opinions and ideas more.
Thanks.

Fair enough. It was a fun gag that went on for some time, but it's natural that some people would get annoyed by the pfp groups (once again, I apologise for spreading the Ranzo one) and really, harmless as they may be, too many threads get reptitive and there's bound to be some backlash.
My suggestion: Just merge all fanclub threads into one thread and call it Character Fanclub, and tone down the pfp group thing a bit (it'll be a bit hard to completely stop ppl from using the same pfp, so please try to roll with it). Problem solved? Probably.

I respect everyone's opinions, I'm just trying to voice my own. I'm not insulting anyone's opinion. If you think I am, sorry. Yes it is spam. Does it give you knowledge about beyblade? Relevant to WBO"S purpose? Is it neccessary? You thinking i'm trying to control people to believe me is absurd. I NEVER said people had to follow. I do appreciate people's opoionis and ideas. In fact, I did appreciate a lot of them. How is it NOT Spam? It's useless bunch of funny memes. It's ruining WBO"S Atmosphere and whyI didn't find it offensive. I had fun debating with you!created it. I never said needed to correct himself. I never said that. In fact, I did point out my mistakes as well. Characters that are likable, cool. But, making useless spam memes about them is absurd. Some fanclubs are cool and sincere, well most aren't. I do try to respect people's opinions and ideas.
I'm sorry If I was rude, I aplogize. Idk what to say now.

I do realise however, that it boils down to a definition of the WBO. What do you consider what the WBO is and why do you want to use it?
The answer to the above question can be different for all of us. I believe the WBO is a place to have fun but intelligent conversation.
So calm down ya'll and have a nice discussion

Mr. VTRyuga, (my father lol jk jk don't mind this) Sorry but I have to honestly disagree. We weren't disrespectful. This debate was actually very nice. No one was mean (except maybeand his post did kinda hurt me. Yes. Fan clubs WITH ABSURD MEMES and no actual REAL beyblade knowledge gained ARE SPAM. I consider WBO as a posting place. Knowledge to be gained. Fun reading fan fictions, your creations making up stuff, tournaments, debating etc. Not spam.

For example, the current WBO format looks like this on desktop. What if we changed it to look more like this instead? With the Search button visible and easily located, anyone visiting the site would have little trouble finding and using it.

I have been inactive for a couple of weeks and want to remain that way for the most part, but after browsing through the wbo and finding this thread, I honestly feel really urged to give a "quick" share of my opinion on fanclub threads as well.
I really wanted to quote your reply because I feel like you said something that basically sums most of this up:
"The answer to the above question can be different for all of us. I believe the WBO is a place to have fun but intelligent conversation."
I completely agree with this. If the rules of the WBO imply literally anything about the website, its that the discussions are supposed to be meaningful and intelligent, not pointless and illegible. When we take this into account, fan clubs threads are nowhere near the standard of appropriate threads. Despite this, I also agree withbecause truth be told, there is nothing wrong with the general idea of a fan club thread. After all, they are basically just a form of respect thread devoted to a particular beyblade character so they would ideally be perfectly fit for this forum. To explain my opinion a bit better, I don't think that the actual concept of a fan club thread is an issue at all, rather the true problem is the discussions that go on Inside these threads.
Discussing your favourite characters is completely fine but if you are going to bump a thread just to make an illiterate and pointless post along the lines of "AMIIGO AMIIIGO" or "all hail our saviour, lord Amane!" There is definitely an issue with your post. Some of the biggest most stressed rules of the wbo revolve around engaging in serious proper discussion and making posts that people want to read and I think we can all agree that those posts are nothing more than frivolous wastes of time. That being said,also made a good point, spam is spam and it is against the rules whether you like it or not so it really doesn't matter if "a couple" of people enjoy those types of discussions. Fan club threads are not an issue, nor are they harmful themselves, but the lack of self regulation amongst users is what has earned them such a bad reputation.
I decided to look through the Ranzo fan club thread to find an example of a proper, intelligent post and I did end up finding something.
(Sorry for putting you on the spotlight) You see, PinkRose has provided an actual opinion in his serious/intelligible post-and more than that, he has posted with the intent of actually making an engaging contribution towards the topic. These are the types of posts/discussions that need to be going on within the fan club threads or better yet, any thread really. Ultimately, this all just boils down back to the main issue at hand (the one Vtryuga made this topic for) that being that nobody bothers to actually read through the rules or learn from their mistakes. In all honesty, it will probably remain that way as well. Younger/careless members are about as likely to read through the rules as they are to read the terms and conditions of an app. They simply aren't going to do it no matter what you do to the site layout or convenience because they just can't be reasoned with, so the best approach would just be a more restrictive function.
