not only have i watched doctor who, i'm english. the accent blue is mangling by text is not so far from my own.

Re: ayrt

Then you know that’s correct

[(Anonymous)]

lol no.

if you're blue, serious bit of feedback here, it would make your writing much better if you spelled the words properly and just mentioned his accent in narration when it's important. link to a video of him speaking when threading with someone for the first time if it matters that much to you.

even correctly rendered accents in dialogue can be annoying to read and yours is honestly not correct. to the point where as someone familiar with canon and very familiar with the accent it breaks immersion for me completely and i can't mentally read your posts in his voice.

Why don’t you tell this to her crit post in the doctors journal if it matters so much?

plenty of people have tried to give blue advice over the years and she's ignored them all or mocked them when they opted out of her characters. the people who earnestly wanted her to improve and would have helped her are sick of her shit.

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

Yet she won’t see anything here so why complain?

[(Anonymous)]

Outside of being bitter Bettie’s about something still

[(Anonymous)]

You are so obvious on flatview

Re: da

[(Anonymous)]

you're really coming here to the complaining community to ask why we're complaining

you must have something better to do than this

Re: da

Because it's never helped in the past, she has a history of harassing players, her hmd has anon off and ip tracking on.

[(Anonymous)]

Sock it up

[(Anonymous)]

a sock doesnt help when youre tracking ips, blue

a vpn would though, to anyone observing who wants to take a crack at it

[(Anonymous)]

not on dreamwidth. on a vpn you just show up as "([VPN IP]) [ORIGINAL IP]". it's why wankers can't dodge mods on anonmemes by using a vpn.

[(Anonymous)]

dang

[(Anonymous)]

no? that's not how that works at all. it shows up as ([VPN IP]), end of story. the only time any other ip shows up is if you happen to also edit the comment as well, and then it shows a secondary ip.

go test it out in a journal you can fuck around in. log ips, make a post/comment on one of your journals, view the ip. then edit it. do one with the vpn on, one with it off. that's the only time it shows anything secondary. the whole point of a vpn is to hide your ip. it's not going to show up as your original if you're using one. mods are going off of 'this ip has shown up a lot and if i look it up, it's in a sussy vpn area like la or russia'.

[(Anonymous)]

commercial vpn addresses are well known, as is their format, and they're identifiable from 'regular' ips. when anon mods on rpa spot an obvious vpn address, they assume (often wrongly, as we keep eyerolling here) the user is a wanker trying to slip thru the cracks and delete threads. dreamwidth itself isn't snitching on you for using a vpn, we're just at a point where vpns are so commonplace that you can't easily hide you're using one anymore, just your actual address. tbf, most vpn users have no interest in pretending they're regular ip users to escape the detection of trigger-happy mods in their fictional barbies hobby, so it's a pretty niche interest that vpn providers have yet to cater to.

[(Anonymous)]

i'm curious how you think this would work on a technical level

[(Anonymous)]

Ah yes, I forgot Dreamwidth has the most advanced IP detection tech in the world.

[(Anonymous)]

No real crit here

[(Anonymous)]

Are you saying they ain't got nobody to listen to

[(Anonymous)]

i'm blueeee dabadee dabadieeeeee daaabaaadeeee dababaaaadieeeeee

[(Anonymous)]

My attempt at giving her politely worded constructive criticism was ignored aside from mocking me on plurk for it. Several mutuals told me similar stories of attempting to help Blue better assimilate into DWRP and have more comprehensible writing. There's no helping people that won't help themselves.

[(Anonymous)]

i think the responses to your question and the responses to those (particularly blue's, who is so obviously hanging around) answer enough as to why people don't crit her. she's a lost cause.
