Good morning dear readers,
I’m talking about one of my personal stardoll pet peeves and all time hates. Unoriginality, copying, fraud, unofficial plagiarism. Whatever you would like to call it I can’t stand it. The reason for it and its growing popularity: They love your idea, but can’t put it into their own words or use it as inspiration. Unfortunately the numbers of ‘frauds’ are increasing as the levels of stardoll and talent creativity is rising, it’s quite sad to think it could be reduced so easily.]
Presentations seem to be the prime opportunity for fraudsters as they copy the background, text and sometimes greeting not or quote the user has made up them. When I realised my greeting line had been used by not one but several users I felt betrayed and used, not to mention angry. If the background looks good, mention them on the presentation with a (background made by ©….) If they catch you then the will report and in some circumstances keep on reporting you until your account is deleted. A word of advice: It’s just not worth it.
Using a suite you’d like to copy as inspiration instead. Whether it’s the colour scheme or the wallpaper you’re interested in always put your stamp on it. There’s a fine line between inspired and copied, make sure you don’t cross it.
To those who say: ‘It’s only a few words and a background’ think of the individual who spent time and effort producing a handmade presentation, just for someone to come along and take it from you. It’s not publicised enough either which enrages me.
Enough about me though, what do you think?
Love Georgie/abbeydawn122 xx
