Hello, dolls!

Today's post is a little different from my usual makeup, beauty and skincare theme. One of the most unfortunate aspects of MSW are dolls who cheat. Cheaters come in many forms, so it's important to be on the lookout for them!

One of the biggest 'cheaters' of MSW is fake voters. If a doll comments in your guestbook that they have voted, only to return within 24 hours with the same message, you have been a victim of cheating. The MSW rules only allow for a dollie to vote for another person once per day - and while it's hard to keep track of who has commented in the madness, some dolls comment multiple times per day and are therefore very obvious. Consider blocking these dolls.

Another issue is fake accounts. We all want to do well, but fake accounts are a particularly dishonest way to go about it. Often, it's obvious when a doll has numerous low-level dolls visiting her within the space of minutes from the same place - it can be a coincidence, but using fake accounts to garner votes can become very obvious to the Staff! 

Another form of cheating to look out for is country-changing. I personally have seen dolls changing their doll's country to less-populated categories such as the Oceania category to get a better chance of winning. This is particularly disappointing - and often is obvious if you have seen the flag switch over or if the doll's language doesn't match the country (be aware, however, some people are just bilingual). 

MSW is a time for creativity, showcasing yourself and putting your best foot forward in the community. It's a shame some people have to ruin it for others, as by cheating you not only demean yourself but the dolls who are voting fairly and getting votes fairly. 

Please play fair.
