I have photoshop back! Unfortunately it's only a 30 day trial version for now, but at least it means I can get this profile re-done. Not quite sure what I'll be going for this time, I thought of doing a kind of misty blue effect...I'll see where my mouse takes me. Whatever I do it'll get downrated by whelps, children and spiteful fuckwits so it doesn't really matter...

OK, OK, I know I'm coming across as a real whingy bitch lately but to be honest, I've just become kind of semi-addicted to jotting down random thoughts in here now. It's the first journal I've had that I've really kept up with, and the comments make it more interesting.
So anyway, to the purpose of this entry...
A mini-rant.
One thing that's really starting to annoy me is those damn pop-up boxes some people insist on having when you go to their profiles. And they're not content with one, no...they have to have one popping up when you click out of it too...gah!
Do you not realise how goddamn annoying they are? Especially when I'm trying to rate several profiles in one go...I just get into my stride and then WHAM, a bloody box telling me some random thing - which is usually spelt wrong - and interrupting my whole flow! then, when i've rated, I get one thanking me for coming and then WHAM, the welcome one again! It's never-ending...
Seriously though, is there any need for them? I used to have one and I took it off because I was annoying myself for gods' sake...

I really don't agree with the practice that some members have of using a right-click blocker on their profiles - to stop people taking pictures that they themselves have taken from another site.
I mean, can nobody else see the hypocrisy in this?
If it's your own work, fine, all power to you. But just to take somebody else's work then whinge if someome takes it from your profile? Nope, sorry my dear, you have NO right to complain.
This entry was the inspiration for my semi-rant, although by no means the only cause. There are many on here who employ this hypocritical practice.

Well, I had a bad day on friday; had two or three things going on at home which I really could have done without, and it kinda sent me spiralling back into depression. Then I log on to find that chaosxxxvampire or whatever he is decided to rate me a 1, apparently for no reason, claiming that he had nothing to do with 'some dude deathforall' (not a nice way to talk about your dad). Seeing those obviously unfair ratings just kinda made me see red. Normally I would have laughed it off but because of everything else, I couldn't. I'm only human and have feelings like everybody else, much as some like to pretend otherwise.
I'm making no apologies for the things I said. I stand by them. I do however regret the language I used; swearing like a trooper is not normally in my nature, as those who bother to get to know me will testify. I plead extenuating circumstances.
I stayed off VR yesterday as I was still quite angry - not with the aforementioned members, but with the real-life problems, and I didn't think I'd be able to take the expected backlash - which is pretty much non-existant anyway.
I've now deleted the various posts and comments relating to chaosxxxvampire as I don't think it's worth journal space. I just want to forget about the incident and get back to enjoying VR.
If anyone - including those involved - wish to be rerated, let me know by re-rating me FAIRLY - and i'll reciprocate. I'm willing to make amends; I'm not as childish as I can appear.

I've realised this journal doesn't load very well in IE...
I really wish there was a way to see how many posts you'd made when you update your status, instead of having to look in the forums. It would make things much easier...

I'm getting a little sick of deathtoall now, but as he keeps on coming back, I will keep on adding his logs to the fire, as it were.
He is now trying to claim he sent me this message:

I thank you for your rate. however can you tell me why I was given a rate of 5 and how can I make it better in order to up your rate you gave?
There are three things wrong with this.
Firstly, it's easy to fake a message when you're 'copying it into a journal'.
Secondly, I have been through my messages and not one of them matches this. Deathtoall has never messaged me, at least not this year.
Thirdly, If I had gotten a message like this, I would have responded with my opinion. If the message had been accompanied by the original rate of 5 I would have requested a fair rate from them in return before offering my opinion.
Considering all those points, I think it's highly likely our friend deathtoall is a liar. Either that or, it's entirely possible that he tried to send it while I had him on block (for about 5 minutes), in which case I wouldn't have got the message anyway.
Either way, deathtoall, I did not get your message, so stop trying to make out I did.

Hmm...
If you wish to re-rate me along with anyone else in your coven I am willing to do the same. You will need to tell my coven master first and I will at that time un-block you...
I am a fair person and rate 10's most of the time...
Thank you for your time.
This is, of course, from deathtoall, whom you may remember from my 'name and shame' section.
I would have sent all this in a message to you instead of airing it in here, but of course you have me blocked so I have no other choice. I'm certainly not going to crawl to your coven master about it, as this is none of his business.
While I appreciate the gesture, I don't think your profile is worth a 10. If that is indeed what you're after, might I suggest padding out your text and adding more information about yourself, instead of relying on pictures.
And I would like to add that I'm not responsible for what any other members of my coven rate you. If they have given you low rates based on my journal entry, then that is them making up their own minds. I have not told anyone to go and rate you with anything, nor would I.
I think you misunderstand my rating policy. I do not care what I am rated, provided it is a fair rate. I rate others fairly, and expect the same courtesy. If you genuinely think my profile is only worth a 5, then please, tell me what you think it is failing on - I am always looking to improve and I welcome constructive criticism. To me, that is a fair rate.
That is all I ask.

Decided to do a new profile for this account. My other profile looks, in my own opinion, pretty sweet, but i'm not going to use the same style on this one. that';s the beauty of having two profiles, and the reaosn i've kept the other one. I can have two completely different types of profile instead of being restricted.
So...the profile for Maledicta...So far I've only done the background (going back to my family colours of red and black). I'm having a semi-transparent background for the text boxes...and that's as far as I've got.
I want to do something completely different on this one...like when I had the drop-down boxes on the other profile...but I don't know what to do. I thought about using flash, but thats been done.
Besides, nobody appreciates the work that goes into profiles like that, so I don't know why I'd even bother. Hell, the other profile is still getting 7 and 8, so screw it.
Bog-standard profile, here I come!

I'm not going to rant about revenge raters in here anymore. I now have a separate section for them. Shame there's so many to warrant their own section, but still, it's amusing to read about them!
Perhaps if we all did this, revenge raters would begin to learn that their behaviour is seen as childish, pathetic and not welcome on VR.
