What is The Stardoll City?


   A few months ago, I posted about a mysterious photo by Stardoll Staff, depicting a city. We made guesses as to if it were real or not and now we know. It's real. Stardoll users just got this message in their inbox's giving us a heads up about updates coming soon, next week. 
   They say this update will make it "easier to find your way around." My theory is that the Stardoll City will be a site map, where we click on various buildings to visit places on Stardoll. I can't be for sure, but that's what I'm guessing. If I'm correct, then this update may be a step back in maturity, because other sites that function like this are Polly Pocket.com and Barbie.com. 

Above is a photo of the Stardoll City, previously featured in another post.
If you have any ideas about what the Stardoll City really is, share them in the comments.

Winning National Covergirl - My Experience



You log on everyday to see there is a new Covergirl, and for your country, a National Covergirl. Every Stardoll user dreams of the day they win one of these, but you really never thought it could happen.

Today, I won.

I woke up, and went to school like every other day. When I came home, I logged on to Stardoll like I do pretty  much everyday. This is what I saw:
There I was, on the front page of Stardoll. When I saw it, I honestly had to refresh the page, and when it was still there, I seriously thought Stardoll was broken. The thing is, I never ran for anything. I had 400sc and 4 stardollars, not even enough to send one broadcast.
Canada is the second largest country in the world. How could it have been me?


I'm sorry, I honestly have no tips considering there is nothing I did any differently when I won this, but this is just a reminder to EVERYONE that you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on Stardoll. Just keep playing and honestly, one day your dreams might come true like mine. (:


Good luck to everyone!



Interview with MSW 2013 6th Place Finisher: Good-Bye-x

   Today, I'm sharing with you an interview with one of this year's MSW 2013 finalists. It's never to early to start preparing for next years Miss Stardoll World competition, so study these words of advice from...

Good-Bye-x
6th Place in MSW 2013



Interview Below

Q: How many times had you entered MSW before you made the finals in 2013 and how did your experience help you this year? 
A: The first year of MSW I wanted to participate, but I don't even have reached the semi-finals. So I skipped the next years. And this summer, when the new season started, I thought " Why not? ".

Q: How important is broadcasting for your campaign and how many Stardollars did you spend? 
A: For my campaign, I have used broadcasting to a single moment: the first round. I sent messages for 1485 SD . To have the money, I sold a lot of LE. Then, for the semi-final and final, it was me who made my own campaign. Several days a week, I went in several suites to send message in guestbooks . It's certain that broadcasting is very essential and useful in this competition. But if you do not have the money, you should search for another solution.

Q: How will you improve your campaign for next year's MSW? 
A: This MSW season taught me a lot in terms of communication to adopt . So to improve my campaign next year , I intend to organize myself better and use more broadcasting . But for that, I should to save SD!

Q: What advice do you have for future participants of MSW? 
A: Be original and don't expect people to come you vote by themselves. It takes some time and energy if you want to go far in the competition. As in any contest.

Q: What is the most important thing to include in your campaign?
A: The most important thing to include in my campaign was the communication plan. If you want to be voted, you should be known and that's why it is necessary to talk to people.

Q: Do you think all styles of medolls have an equal chance of winning MSW and how would you describe your style?
A: Each person has their own style and each doll is a reflection of this style. This is a good thing, because a rich world is a world of diversity. The problem is that most people don't like what is out of the ordinary . It's for this reason that the winners of MSW seems be the same year after year... too bad.

Q: How do you spend your time on Stardoll?
A: I spend a lot of time on Stardoll, too much time. The minutes passed, then hours...

Q: What Stardoll skill do you feel most knowledgeable about and what advice do you have for others who practice it?
A: I can't rate myself, but if I think about it, I had a lot of compliments for my album. So with the voice of the people: my album lol. Otherwise, it's pretty hard to give advice about how to practice because we practice with what we have in our head. There is no manual.

Q: Who inspires you and what important message have they taught you?
A: When I was little, I watched a lot of movies full of magic (especially Harry Potter!), I was fascinated and I dreamed of being one of those characters. Growing up, this desire has never left me. So I felt obliged to use magic to create certain suites. What important message have they taught? It makes us aware of the beauty of things. It makes our hearts better.

Q: Any final advice for Stardoll users? 
A: The only advice that seems essential to me: Do not be followers, be actors! Build up your own personality. No longer follow the mass . Be unique.

Interview With Canadian MSW Finalist maddie13real!

So, everyone knows MSW ended recently, and congratulations to the winner! Winning MSW is a HUGE deal, but so is being a FINALIST! Here we meet a girl who worked her BUTT off for what she wanted, and TOTALLY deserves that crown! I hope you enjoy seeing MSW Competition from a finalists eyes!




Q: What made you want to become MSW?

My reason for wanting to become MSW is because of how far and improved my doll had become. Throughout the summer I really have improved on my doll and suite tremendously and I FINALLY started to win Nation Covergirl. From there I thought I would have a pretty good chance at winning MSW (through all the lovely comments from very lovely people c; :*).

Q: How did you feel when you got into the Semi Finals/ Finals?

I was so overcome with emotions when finding out! I then realized that I have come such a long way from when I started, never would I have thought I could get this far!

Q: How much, in your opinion would it cost to get into the MSW Finals?

I would say a lot stardollars which would go for buying new clothes for running and broadcasting.

Q: Would you run again next year? What would you do differently and the same?

Yes I would probably run again next year. What I would do differently is to become more organized with my time for running and I would defiantly keep broadcasting which really does help a lot.

Q: What do you think a page needs to become MSW worthy?

Well other than the MSW requirements, a nice doll, suite, and clothes, I would say to be persistent. Even though you notice that not many people are coming to your suite, you have to remember that eventually you will start to get more votes, visitors, and supporters. when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Q: What is some advice you would give to someone trying to run for MSW?

As I said before, be persistent when when the situation becomes difficult, the strong will work harder to meet the challenge. Also look inspiration to incorporate within your look, suite, clothes, presentation etc. It will most defiantly help you develop your creativity.




Thank you to maddie13real for having an interview! Good luck to her next year!

A Guide to Reporting and False Reporting

   The ability to report other Stardoll users is a wonderful way to keep Stardoll a safe online community, but it's a little more complicated then you might think. Today I'm going to discuss something very important you should know about the Reporting feature, it's called: False Reporting. I hope you read closely, because this is very important.


The Basics


   You can find the Reporting button on almost every page throughout Stardoll. Look for the symbol when you see behavior breaking Stardoll Rules. A pop up window will guide you through the reporting process.

    Below are the Stardoll ONE STOP RULES taken directly from the Help page:
"When you are at Stardoll you must NOT: 

- Swear, use sexually graphic terms or make racist remarks.
- Bully other Stardolls or in other ways make them feel uncomfortable.
- Ask other Stardolls for personal information (or give out your own) such as (but not limited to) password, email, name on Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram or similar.
- Post external links (such as photos, videos, chat rooms etc).
- Make private deals to trade items, trade/sell/buy accounts or sell items for more than the limit of 600 Stardollars.
- Type your password anywhere except in the log in box on Stardoll.com or change your email to any email address that does not belong to you.
- Break the law at Stardoll or talk others into breaking it.
- Claim you belong to the Stardoll Staff. There is no employee code so, do not ask for or claim to have one.
- Create or design items that may be offensive to others, including (but not limited to) smoking, weapons and drugs.

Breaking any or more of the ONE-STOP-rules will result in the closure of your membership with no chance of refund."

   Reporting Tips
  1. Read the ONE STOP RULES on the Stardoll Help page before making any report. You must be educated so that you are better aware of the actions of others and yourself. This will prevent you from making false reports and from accidentally breaking Stardoll rules. 
  2. Only make reports when you have Proof. That means reporting crimes directly and not reporting people just because someone asks you too. 
  3. Count to Ten before Reporting. Be sure that you're not angry or upset when you report someone. Never leave Stardoll a frantic, scrambled or immature comment included with the report. It will make your report less credible. 

All about False Reporting


   Stardoll says, "Making false reports or any other abuse of this function may result in termination of your account." Staff is very serious about this, so be 100% positive that what you are reporting is breaking Stardoll rules. You must report the crime directly. That means if someone asks for your password in chat, you must report that user in the chat window. If you report the user in her suite, there is no proof of a crime and therefore it may be considered a false report. 

Conclusion: A false report includes any report without direct proof, so report the crime directly or your account could be terminated.

   On the topic of false reporting, I want to bring up a popular way of getting revenge and justice. Although it seems good in theory, it's not always effective or safe. You may know of this as "Report lists", "Hacker lists" or something similar. Basically, a report list is any list of 1 or more Stardoll users who should be reported. Usually the creator of these lists tells everyone to report the people listed. It seems a harmless way of giving these accused hackers and rule breakers what they deserve, but here are some reasons it's a bad idea.
  • There is no proof that a person on the list deserves to be reported. You are just taking the word of a random person online, which means you don't know if it's true, so you could be reporting an innocent person.
  • If you report the person on the list without proof (aka you're not reporting a direct crime), then you're false reporting. Therefore, you're putting your own account at risk of being terminated. 
  • If the report list is posted on Stardoll and it includes links to proof, then the list itself is breaking Stardoll rules by posting external links. Which means the creator of the list doesn't understand the Stardoll Rules them-self and probably shouldn't be taken seriously. 
   Conclusion: Do not report a Stardoll user just because you're told to. It's false reporting and could put your account at risk!
