Hi dollies, I'm afraid that I need to rage a bit.
As you're all well aware I've got a club on Stardoll called LadydiverStyles. It mostly persists of me, making some small, fun competitions with small prizes - Because it's not about the prize but about the creativity and fun side and the challenge.
One of my newest competitions is a competition with the theme "rainbow" where you can make what ever entry you wish, as long as it is rainbow-themed.
As the days has gone by, some users have entered, for which I am glad because I love to see how other people will interpret my competitions and come up with amasing and different ideas :)
One user chose to copy another users idea, exactely.
This is the scenery by the first contestant, Ja-nni, (and therefore the original scenery and idea).
This is the scenery by the copy-cat. Notice that I am in no way attacking her person, but merely expressing my opponion on the act of copying another users' idea. This I find is my right, as it is my club and it is a competition, which I am hosting. If someone else had commented that, I would have accepted it aswell. It is not nice to copy others' ideas.
As I am a very forgiving person, I wrote a comment, that the copy-cat would be welcome to make a new entry, for she would have no chance of winning with an idea, which she had copied from another user.
This is the comment I left her. Should I say it myself, it's a neutral and fair comment.
As of now I would've expected her to reply something like "Oh sorry, I didn't know, I'll try and make a new entry" or "I will keep this entry"
But then today as I logg on to check on how things are going with LD (Ladydiver) as I do almost every day, I find this in my GB.
Offcourse I do my best to reply in a nice way, though I do not at all feel like being nice.
I gave the copy-cat a second chance, and this is the reply I get?
Offcourse I've replied to it, though SD-rules advise us not to reply to harrassing comment. I've only replied, because I still wish for her to understand, that I mean her no harm in any way.
- She is btw still welcome to make a new entry in my club.
The reasons why her name has not been blurred or anything from this post is:
1) It would be easy for any readers to find her anyway, since all this is still available in both my GB and club.
2) I don't have many readers anyway.
3) I'm not angry at her. This is not a hate-blog-post, this is a post of me expressing my oppinion on how ungratefull kids are these days.
Now, I'll get back to studying for my Evolutionary Biology exam.
- Ladydiver
If you think I should've handled this in some other way, please leave a comment on how you would've handled it in the commentssection of this post.
UPDATE: The comment has now been deleted from my GB. I did not delete it and the copy-cat has not visited me since I replied. Maybe SD has got a new feature, which automaticly deletes any comments, which has been reported?
Yes I did report her, as it is my duty to report anything which breaks the rules of SD.
