Top Ten Things We Want to See in Gen 19 TopTenners

{ ATTENTION TO THE FUTURE GENERATION 19 USERS OF THETOPTENS }.

As this list was created, we are halfway through Gen 18. While this was better than gen 17 in quite a few ways, it could be better. So let us see what we want generation nineteen of TheTopTens to have as qualities.
The Top Ten
1 Creativity

I think there are too many lists about anime, music, and cartoons being made currently, Thetoptens is full of complaints about no ideas for lists anymore. Here is my tip, I find list ideas unintentionally by looking up things I want to find for something interesting or a good laugh, and if I can't find one, I make it myself. That is what the future Toptenners should do as well. Is

Just because I'm a sports users doesn't mean I'm not creative. I've received some criticism over just wanting to make those list. Like this very list later states, you have to respect others opinions. And I like to make sports lists because it's a thing I care about and actually enjoy doing.

Yes. I'm a Gen-19 user, and I don't like the lists about sports, music, T.V. shows, movies, and just the obvious things people do. I like the miscellaneous lists, and that's why I haven't made any lists that people would think of.

I wish I could be creative with my lists. But after one of my lists got rejected I'm too scared to make another one

2 Respect of opinions

People who disrespect opinions are the biggest problem with TheTopTens right now. I have seen people on here telling other people to get their ears checked for not liking a song they like or vice versa (I actually used to do that when I was new on here).

Obviously, some bad toptenners are notorious for bashing on opinions. This will improve the toptens if you can respect opinions. Remember, if everyone thought the same, the world would be quite boring. So let people be unique on this place.

This is important. I known a lot of fans online who bully other people for having a different opinion and its just not right. I think respecting opinions is very important and should be more common in gen-19

Well so far I've had no problems regarding opinions, whether they're my own or someone else's. I've seen some users disrespect other users opinions though.

3 Less cyber bullying

Obviously, No one likes cyberbullying. NO ONE. If you know the difference between this and criticism, that is great. Use this knowledge if you would like to be a good Generation 19 users

Nobody should be bullied at all. In my opinion, bullying should be a crime because nobody I mean NOBODY like bullying! I hope gen-19 doesn't have any bullies at all

As a Gen-19 user, it is my goal to never bully anyone.

Yeah we have "Nice" users instead..

4 Maturity

I am not trying to be ageist, but We have quite a few people on Thetoptens posing as they are age 13, when they are around 11 or 10. We consequently have lists like "Top Ten Users of Thetoptens with the stinkiest farts" on this site. many of us can agree that we do not want Immature lists and posts like this in the future

I think I'm mature just I have a little sense of humor with my post I just try to be positive except when it comes to football because 1/32 says you can't be positive about football

Not happened thus far with this gen

5 Not begging for attention

You got a point there. I mean, I didn't start on this community for attention to be popular and to be higher. I start to be on this community cause I want to make some friends, some more people that are supporting on my lists I make on this website, not to be spamming some endless comments on people for ''I WANT ATTENTION ON MY PROFILE'', it may annoy people and going to refuse to associate with you if you continue. I just want to start on what I have to do before going higher for the things. So, I agree with you.

I am not getting a lot of attention but who cares about that? Whatever you do future toptenners, do not give up with this website even if you are unpopular. Just continue being you and you could even have the potential to become a great user

Especially do not retire because you are not popular. Do not give up, even if that is a overused cliche advice piece. You will be noticed eventually.

That used to be me when I first joined, but now I am working hard

6 Acknowledging the difference between criticism and insulting

There are two meanings of criticism: one is bullying and just being a jerk for the sake of it whilst criticism is just telling off or giving advice to help improve as a user. Overreacting to it ain't going to help at all and makes you look like a SJW crybaby. I may have been easily offended by it on my old account, because I didn't know what it was at first, but now I realised that there are two meanings and if you get offended by a rustler, do NOT feed them. Just take the criticism you get and use it to help improve as a user.

The policy is heavily complained about due to not recognizing the sheer difference between criticism and straight up bullying for the pleasure of it. Know the difference so Thetoptens will improve. I may have used to deny the existence of constructive criticism, but I did mature eventually, and over sensitivity is not going to make it easy in the long run.

Insulting and criticizing is everywhere on this site. Hopefully the 19th Gen will stop this

Because calling someone else's work "cancerous" is "criticism"

7 A lack of trolling

I absolutely agree with this one. I cannot stand trolls but I wouldn't feed them if I were you. Because if you do feed them you will just make them do it even worse.

I question the sanity of people who thirst the response messages of CAPS LOCK all over. Do not feed the trolls. Do not feed them.

Now everyone should know that I got trolled by a brainless Eminem fan named Eminemfan1717 yes he trolled on my smoking scientists list...!

No! Correction: more trolling! Trolls are funny and it is your problem if you feed them.

8 No negativity for the sake of it

I can understand why some people are depressed when on this site, but when they make all sorts of worst lists and have not even considered making a positive list, then it can get out of hand

Please stop with politics example top ten reasons why democrats are better then republicans and vise versa you are just making 70% of the users who look at the list annoyed and angry

Just being negative and suicidal for the sake of it isn't really a good thing at all and just doing negative lists for the sake of it can get out of hand

I can't help it! I'm a negative person!

9 Choosing quality over quantity

Yeah I used to do quantity over quality when I first started in the hope that one of those list become popular and some of them did, but you get even more benefit when you put effort into the list. It really works, because just recently I had 2 list in the same week make the featured list and that of course gets you more comments on your lists.

I get annoyed when I see countless lists and they have 10 items or under, no description, and no comments to show why this was chosen. If you have a small amount of list ideas, at least make as much as you can to have a lot of quality so you have a chance of you list being featured.

Why can't users just at least try hard on their content T_T
Look, it doesn't always have to be high quality, but all I am saying is that it needs to have at least a bit of effort into it. I don't care about my lists being featured, all I care about is at least some effort put into it.

Which would you rather have, 5 good lists or 100 bad lists?

10 No bandwagoning

As soon as more respect of opinions become present, so will be a bigger lack of bandwagoning. So what if you have an unpopular opinion? That is what makes you a unique person!

God, I have so many unpopular opinions and I can't believe I used to bandwagon on my old account. Just because someone has an unpopular opinion doesn't mean they are bad

This is why I usually listen to a song, or at least look at the lyrics, before saying anything about it.

What is bandwagoning anyway?
