WE WILL TELL YOU ABOUT THE ITEM AND THE COUNTRY IT WAS OFFERED TO, BUT WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY PROXY INFORMATION. IF YOU CHOOSE TO TAKE THAT RISK, YOU WILL HAVE TO GET THE INFO ELSEWHERE . SORRY.
ALSO, LET ME REITERATE, I PERSONALLY WAS NOT HACKED BY PROXY REGARDLESS WHAT STARDOLL SAYS AS I DON'T USE THEM. I AM 99% SURE I WAS HACKED BY A KEY LOGGER VIRUS THAT SOMEONE PLACED IN A LINK FOR A COMP ENTRY.
BECAUSE OF THIS, I AM UNSURE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF COMPS ON THIS BLOG OR THE BLOG CONTINUING ITSELF.
FIRST BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL GOOD ABOUT GIVING SO MUCH OF MY OWN MONEY AWAY FOR THIS SITE ANY LONGER. NOT TO MENTION MY TIME. SECOND BECAUSE I WILL NO LONGER LOOK AT ANY SCREEN PRINT LINKS.
I APOLOGOIZE THAT A FEW DISHONEST PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO RUIN THE FUN AND POSSIBILITIES FOR EVERYONE.
I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN FINAL DECISIONS HAVE BEEN MADE, BUT RIGHT NOW MY PARENTS HAVE SEVERELY LIMITED ME AND I DO NOT BLAME THEM.

Really!?! We havent help you responicleble due to proxys hacking us!!! this is so unfair!!!! your blog was the only one that ALWAYS had every free item!!! no i as many others will have to find a blog that does!! ugh!!! because you get hacked you ruin are fun.. NOT COOL :)
Great. I decided to not use proxies too.
Omg.
I never use proxies (I used them before) cause I'm too lazy for that and I usually don't like those free items.Thank God to my laziness.
I'm so sorry your parents limited you.And I understand you don't blame them xD That's just,it's hard to find an enough right word to describe that what happened to you!
Jenna, how can I contact with you?
Aw Jenna you have made the right choice. Don't be sorry its ok.
I just wanted to ask what type of links where they you mean? I am asking as I work for a few blogs and would like to know how to avoid it too?
Good to see you are blogging again xox
I have conflicting feelings about this.
I understand why you're not going to give out proxy info. It's easy enough (for most countries) to find a manual proxy, which are safer if they are accepting hits. And that's if you're willing to take the risk.
I also think that if you're going to have any comps, it should not include us having to post a link in order to enter it. Why not make us take a photo or put it in our album? I realize that you cannot take a pic in the StarPlaza dressing room, so this solution might be unfair to non-SS. There must be a way!!
Any ideas out there?
Ohh:[ This is so sad.:| I'm sure not going to use any proxies from now on. But still i understand that you don't blame your parents...Stardoll has to do something about the hacking thing quick...
I personally think you should continue to share proxies with your followers. I don't see how people will get hacked that way.
Anyway that is pretty shit about comps :(
Oh..................bumcheeks :(
really because you get hacked you stop posting these links were us as members choose to use them or not!!! i think you are beig a little selfish!
Ok, i will never use prozies from now on unless i REALLY want something. I agree with you totally
Ooh O_o I'm so sorry for you
emma, proxies are extremely unsafe. Basically anything you type while using them is sent to the admin of the proxy, and some proxies lead you to dummy sites as part of a phishing scam to get passwords to online accounts and people's social security numbers. I learned this on a link in Perez's account safety article on her blog, please read it and inform yourself so you can be safer in the future.
The anons in here are acting like brats, you're spoiled rotten Jenna doesn't owe you anything she's done enough for everyone! And she's trying to promote account safety, the same people who are complaining that she won't post proxies would be freaking out if they were hacked and blaming it on her! You people are ungrateful!!
I have used proxies for years - even those who have been considered as unsafe and all but I have never been hacked. Those people who were hacked now (like you, Marcela, Mandy) do not use proxies ever. So why does everyone put blame on proxies?
Ruth, just because you were lucky doesn't mean they are safe to use.
That is true Ruth!!!
thats ok its fine i dont mind
The anons in here are making no sense at all. You would really risk all the time and MONEY you've invested in your accounts just to get some mundane free item?
I have not put much money into my account....
I'm no longer going to use proxies, it's unfair that certain countries get certain items and lead people to use proxies to have to get them. I'm just not going to put up with proxies. I used to love free stuff, but it isn't worth risking your Acc for them!
It's too bad, as this blog has always been famous for contests, but to be honest, that's not the main reason I love this blog. I love the writer's and the posts. So if you guys stop doing free stuff and contests, I'm fine with that, because I'll love SMW no matter what!
Stay strong Jenna xxx
@Ruth,I agree. All you can get from using proxies are viruses.Why would the proxy owners steal your stardoll information or hack your account?
I am glad that you will at least be getting back some of your stolen items. That is good news. Thank you for the safety information. I really am sorry to see comps go away. I really love putting outfits together forthe competitions. I wish there was a way that we could directly post our screenshots in the comments section. Then we wouldn't have to use links. Wouldn't you know it...the first time I actually win a couple of contests and this happens. Oh well. I guess its only virtual money anyway. A few cruddy people have to go and ruin it for the rest of us. Sigh!
@ andreea9120
a virus can crash your harddrive and permanently damage your computer. that's a big risk, bigger than getting you stardoll account hacked into. NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOK AT IT PROXIES ARE DANGEROUS! I agree with perez!you people are NOT MAKING SENSE!!
-marybeth
If stardoll wants us to not use anymore proxies then they have to make contests in every country!!!!
@-marybeth if all those proxies were oh-so-full-of-viruses then my laptop would have be dead. Seriously, I have been making posts and ALWAYS actually getting those free items - and I haven't had any problems.
But @Jenna Is this post as sort of - leave Ruth, we no longer need your free stuff posts? :D Or will I know just have to put picture of free item, name country and add contest link?
Not everyone has been as lucky as you Ruth.
This is the right thing to do Jenna, I support you!
Btw will you be announcing the winners of the Hot buy/Polls comps. Even though we won't be getting any of the awards now, it would be cool to know who won them. The crop top, the black vest, the striped dress and the tangled hair comps are still un announced. Thanks!
Okay, I understand ♥
@Anonymous
I've read the post on PSG. I know that the admins of the proxies know your password when you sign into stardoll on them but they are not interested in your password. They are interested in the money they get from advertisements and money people pay to use them.
@marybeth I said that the proxies aren't dangerous for your stardoll account.I know that you can get viruses from proxies and that if you don't have an antivirus your computer will be damaged.(and even if you have one you can get them)
I used proxies to get the free stuff and I didn't have problems.
Trust me,even if you don't use them you are predisposed to get viruses even using just yahoo or any other trusted sites
We should have a rant post on our opinions of LE... It'd get members active and debating stuff, I think it'd be good.
Plus, it'd give me something to do 'cause I'm bored. xDDD
Great, the proxies are really unsafe :D
It's okay. We totally agree. Maybe you could still do the comps but people post them on blogs and you look at them. But anyway! Good luck :)
Anonymous
If you want to take the chance of getting hacked that's on you. There are many other blogs who post free items. Underneath Stardoll for one...
@ Janastarlite
Its not just about the links, but about the money. Why would I want to put so much of my own money out to promote the site when it's this difficult to get help. I still have 29 items I paid a lot for taht are now loss for no reason.
@Ruth
I have never been hacked from proxy, but I did get a virus a few years ago which is why I stopped.
You are still welcome to post the items, just leave out the proxy...
@ Everyone the best would be to complain to Stardoll to make the free items available in every country.
i agree with you stopping proxies on this blog, but it should not jeporadize the blog itself, competitions could include giving people gifts in their suites if that is the problem :)

That is totally ridiculous. Stardoll is just trying to make us suffer for blaming them. Which even if you did click on a link. I am sure there are other people who haven't been hacked who haven't clicked on any links.
More importantly though, do they run this blog? Can they make these types of demands? I thought this was more of a fan of Stardoll blog and to be in association with Stardoll Staff in any shape or form. If the latter is true then why stop posting proxie info? Stardoll really gets on my damn nerves. They honestly can't do anything right.
I won't use proxies anymore even if i like something...its extremely dangerous..and stardoll is so unfair...Good choise Jenna about proxies! :D
p.s sorry for the Anon post-couldn't bother looging in my account duh-
wtf! This WAS my favorite blog but if there will no be the proxyes and comps anymore than I'm leaving this blog!
What account did they load teh 53 items to?
Blissss
It was my decision to stop posting the proxies since people are blaming me for giving them unsafe information!
Is it really that big a deal you can find the information anywhere. I just choose not to support that method as I know first hand you can get a virus.
@ Stardoll.
That's your choice. I can even guarantee the blog will continue until I know more. So buh-bye. I won't cry.
Well, I totally understand you, after all what you lost, I can't blame you. But SMW won't be the same anymore :/
Good luck!
Maybe they blackmailed you and said they wouldn't give you back your things unless you stop posting proxie info. Whatever dude. They're so retarded. Most people have virus scanners and firewalls. I always get the spyware virus atleast once a week. This is from hackers putting their crap on random websites which I keep running into despite me not trying too. I end up scanning atleast twice a week.
And another thing, I am sure everyone else clicked on the same link you did, Jenna. So why didn't they get hacked?
Like someone else said a hacker that host a proxie site couldn't care less about your Stardoll info or the game Stardoll either, seriously. Now could a hacker add a virus to a proxie link? I doubt it because usually they (the host) would apply security to those links amd checking to make sure those links weren't messed with. Those proxie host are usually hacker types themselves and don't like people messing with their stuff.
Anyway, I've been going to proxy sites for years so I do agree with Ruth, this is completely bogus. We can't get free stuff anymore because you got hacked using an entirely different method which is in no relation to proxie sites. I don't even know what to paste in the begin/finish lines.
Everyone needs to calm down a bit. Yeah ok you got hacked, all you lost was some imaginary clothes on a website. They were never any real value to you. Yes, you paid money to become ss, but the moneys gone, spent, theres nothing you can do now.
If loosing imaginary clothes is the worst of your problems, you dont have much to worry about do you?
I hate the fact that stupid people end up ruining people's fun. Idk why Stardoll thinks we're all liars-we tell them that we don't use proxies, and they don't believe us. It's as if they know everything we do.
I don't blame you or your parents for limiting the time and money you spend on here. If this is how they treat you...well, let's just say that they're not going to be having members that are pleased with them.
to those who say she is being selfish and mean etc by not posting proxies you are wrong.She is HELPING us.If we go on a dodgy proxy and log onto stardoll they can save our information,so by not posting proxies she is saving us from getting hacked like her too.
Btw jenna im sorry about your account,im sure it will be back to normal soon althought stardoll are being really mean about it
Oh and I don't even know for sure that "hackers" are the ones that host proxie sites. But I do think they are of that nature because a proxy site allows you to enter another online web domain that is usually out of your city limits, or national. So they are definitely working some kind of undercover. But again in all my life, using proxies, I've never been hacked.
Jenna,
All you have to include in your post is a disclaimer which says people are responsible for their own internet safety if they choose to use this proxy site and that there is a chance that these links could come with a virus. As long as you make sure that is in your post, I don't see the problem. But ofcourse that's your decision to make.
Like I said last week, a proxy nearly wiped me out a couple of years ago..never again. Jenna I'm impressed how u and your mom are taking charge You are stand up for your rights. Stardoll needs to know that we built that site with our REAL money and we can break the site as well by not spending another dime...Cheers to Jenna and MommaEmoRox4Eva lol
I WILL NEVER EVER USE PROXIES AGAIN!
And actually I take that back. I should not be calling these proxie host "hackers." People who host proxy sites think it's unfair that we are being blocked from viewing a page or site that is out of our reach. Obviously, these people hosting their site are pretty intelligent and well pretty computer savvy. I shouldn't resort to calling them hackers because not everyone who knows a thing or two about computers are. So just to clear that up. :)
Guys, stop hating on the blog just because they might not do competitions and because they won't post proxies anymore.
It's for your own good so that no one will get hacked AND you shouldn't just love a blog because they give you free stuff. :l I find that just sort of shallow.. :l
I suppose people who want to use proxies can always find them somewhere else, SMW will still be a great blog.
Exactly. For those who are willing to take the risk you can find the proxies other places and even other blogs, like Underneath SD hasn't stopped listing proxies and they have the same free things, sometimes even different ones then on here. Plus Ruth will probably still list the country so you can google proxies for that country, I have before and come up with lots of results.
Stop getting mad with Jenna, guys. :l
I don't use proxies anyway
I totally agree with Blissss:
"All you have to include in your post is a disclaimer which says people are responsible for their own internet safety if they choose to use this proxy site and that there is a chance that these links could come with a virus. As long as you make sure that is in your post, I don't see the problem. But of course that's your decision to make." It's called CYA where I come from, and it's all you need to do.
^
I agree you COULD do a 'Use at your own risk' but I personally, wouldn't. It's still displaying and in a way promoting proxies by listing them. And this way SMW can't be held reliable for any hacking.. because I'm sure they'd feel horrible if someone was hacked due to something they posted, even if they listed the risks.
Besides, it's just as easy to go to google and search '(Country Here) Proxies' because after all, Ruth will still list the country the item is from so you can find a proxy easily by searching.
I agree with Jenna and Ruth. but stardoll, out of all the ways she could have been hacked you pick proxies, there are some notorious programs out there, stardoll is being stupid.....
but to always be safe don't use proxies I guess.
thatsfine because i wanted to stop yself from using them!!!!
Ok,
thanks for telling
us. Now i'm very aware jenna
YOU GO JENNA! Fight for what's yours ;D
Butyou gonna keep playing on dolly wood right?
:O
I don't use proxies unless I really LOVE the item [very rarely]/
Don't worry Jenna we completly understand that this is best for YOU and we shouldn't be selfish...it is completly your decision to make!
Even though you are not giving out proxy info I respect your decision but I think it is the reader's decision to make...?
-Once I understand how you get hacked this way I will understand the concept of hacking through proxies but until then....
Limit all entries to tinypic. It is free and available for everyone, and you know what the link looks like.
Proxy's aren't that great anyway, so that's fine, but shutting down the blog completely? This blog is great, and I love it. Why shut it down? Can't you just pass it over to a friend? And why no more links in contests? I just don't understand...
what shall i say
im really sad :(
it was so much fun doing different exercises
i was always happy when i saw that there is a new comp because the comps always were very ambitious
but i can totally understand you
im not sad about that you perhaps wont do any comps again im sad about thoses people who send you a computer virus in a comp.
and about the proxy thing. i also got hacked before sometime and after i got my account back i didnt use proxies anymore. for sure there always can happen something but without using proxies everybody would minimize the danger to get hacked
I am happy you involved your parents & for your safety cut down or stop the competitions. Even closing the blog would be another good idea as people can't be trusted anymore. Or you could continue the blog just about spoilers & things happening on stardoll but no competitions. Being in contact with too many people is obviously not the best. And if bluebuff1 doesn't agree with you why does she keep reading your blog & following the posts you make?
Dear jenna,
i'm so sorry about the things you lost. It is quite unfortunate. But let's just hope no one else gets hacked and if you help me I will start to publish it all over stardoll.....please join me so we can stop this! And a one point in time I did get hacked by proxies. they took 85 sd and 14 rares.
your friend

Hello, I am titled to my own opinion. I didn't imply that I hated the blog or anything, I just admitted that I didn't agree with all of her opinions on the hacking situation.
How ever did that key logger thing is an idiot.
It was stardoll admin itself that got hacked hence all those sales. There must be another way out there responsible for hacking apart from those mentioned. Only time will tell we'll discover how it's done.
Making a post about is just to show how this has affected & could affect a lot of members. Her opinions on the hacking were not just for her but all of us & I hope that through this stardoll treats anyone that has a difficult situation like this with more respect. And I also think stardoll wrote directly to her because her parents got involved & a complaint was made maybe for future reference.
Blissss
You are bot understanding..
I DID NOT get hacked from a proxy site. That is just what Stardoll said. I never use proxies.
I got hacked because some idiot put a key logger virus on one of the links they posted for our comps. Has nothing to do with a proxy.
However proxies are still unsafe. I have 2 virus programs on my computer and sorry, but they can not catch everything. It is always changing.
and no they did not black mail me.
I am glad you are getting back some off your things Jenna.
The fact that stardoll is trying to use proxies as the scapegoat for the reason you got hacked is crazy. How would the hacker get your info from a 3rd party application such as a proxy website.
Jenna, I totally agree. It's true proxies are unsafe they can give you virus's and you never know if they may take your account. I write for 8 blogs , 2 of my own, 4 Stardoll ones and 2 books/TV show ones. And for the Stardoll blogs I am the free stuff write after I read about the unsafe ness of proxies I immediatly started to put warnings on my Free Stuff posts saying it was a risk and blah di blah. But if your going to chancel contests and the free stuff or whatever then I totally agree and follow you on that. Theres many other Stardoll blogs who write about Free Stuff. And sorry for your account, it must be awful to be hacked :(.
I Understand Where You & Your Parents Are Coming From. No One Would Like To Be Hacked Again, Weither They Used Proxies Or Not!
I`ve Never Used Proxys Either & Now I Never Ever Will!
Rab92.
Ph wow Just because you got hacked.Other members got hacked but no they didn't make a big deal like you are.Your being selfish
So in other words, u mean that u are literally closing this club and we wont have as much fun as we used to ? cause if u not give free stuff, money, or comps, what are supposed to do here ?
Hey Jenna, I am sorry for giving u the cold shoulder. I know, u dont have any other option but this was one of my best clubs and now its gone :(
Hey Jenna,
I'm afraid the hacker is planning on hacking me tomorrow after the new collection is dropped. Around which week of competitions did you get hacked around. I entered one of your competitions also and clicked on links here on the site to view other people's pictures so I am worried about my own account. I am wondering which competition was it that you got hacked from. If you could please reply and let me know that would be greatly appreciated.
i never knew but i changed my password and stoped useing proxys
Cassrocks99 & whoever below you..
No I did not ditch people and I am not selfish. Really....you say this because I don't want to keep putting my own money into this site.
Maybe you guys should look in the mire..talking about selfish. Let me know when you start putting tons of your own money up for comps for everyone on stardoll without getting anything in return..
Some of you people are really unbelievable..
im officially done with SMW "/ i have anti virus software and i change my pass everytime after using proxies and ive never had an issue
GUYS, JUST STOP GETTING MADE WITH JENNA!!!
1. It's her blog and she can choose to do what she'd like with it
2. She's doing this for OUR own safety, so we won't have a risk of being hacked.
3. She's always been self-less and put HER money into prizes without getting anything in return (As she said)
4. It's not like it's the end of the blog just because there might not be anymore Comp's and they won't list proxies.
So CALM DOWN and STOP GETTING MAD WITH JENNA!!!
Jenna,
I know that you didn't get hacked by using a proxy and I also know that hacker added a virus to one of the links you clicked on. I am understanding. Trust me. :)
My point was that Stardoll can't prove that you were hacked by using a proxy so it was ridiculous of them to act like that is the sole reason why you were hacked (which is pretty much what they said in the email they sent you). Obviously, anonymous already told us how you got hacked and that is exactly what you just said.
Also, don't let the selfish anon comments get to you. I am sure it's just the hacker trying to piss you off. I don't like the fact that we won't get free stuff anymore well, (unless we figure it out) either but I understand why you and everyone else are paranoid. I guess we can blame the hacker for causing such a mess.
Also, it's great that they are returning most of your items back but also BS that they said they wouldn't return the five that they think they are not responsible for. If they are going to return 54, why not 59?!?! Seriously, Stardoll?!?! I guess it's better than nothing but it is still quite ridiculous.
The reason why I asked is because in the email Stardoll sent you, they accused you of going to proxy sites. I don't know if this is something they found out from reading your blog or looking on their end of things. That's why I asked. They said you accessed your your account through a proxy.
But again thanks for explaining yourself. I knew that you didn't get hacked from a proxy. :) Just to fully clear that up. I always go back and read then realized I missed something.
Aw, it stinks only becasue there are 3 proxies I know I can trust...and now that you won't post them at all here.... -sigh- oh well
It's ok i know how you fell but I will miss this blog and all the comps. Especially since it was very active. Oh Well :)
I always change my password after using proxies anyway. But I hardly ever use them, I'm lazy like that. ;-)
I totally agree with you, Jenna! Those proxies are very unsafe and it's a good idea not to post them anymore. I rarely used them anyway so I won't miss them. :P
I understand you for closing comps for some while, I kinda expected it. I think I would do the same if I got in the situation you are in right now. Take all the time you need and if you'll be able to continue with them, great and if not it's ok aswell. :D Your comps aren't the only reason many people read this blog and we can still enjoy your great posts. ;) I just wish I had enough money so I could help you out with comps but at the moment, I'm broke. :P
And to all of those selfish and immature brats that are saying Jenna is selfish, let me see you putting out tons of money for these comps like jenna always did!! I bet none of you would be nice enough to help her out if you have so much money... Jenna is one of the most generous people I've met and I can't understand how can someone be so rude and stupid and call her selfish... -.-
Right descision, can understand you!
I want this blog back as it used to be.. I hope it will.
I wont use proxies anymore (:
I won't use proxies anymore
agree with what u said: A FEW DISHONEST PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED TO RUIN THE FUN AND POSSIBILITIES FOR EVERYONE. people that make proxies with virus and hackers.
btw r manual proxies also unsafe?
GUYYS!! some of you are being well selfish -_-
next time you wanna blurt out something nasty to jenna, just think about being in her shoes.... shes spent an awfull amount of money on us what does she get in return... NOTHING.
she is doing this so there is 99% chance you wont get hacked if you didnt give out ur pass :P
SO STOP COMPLAINING YOU BUNCH OF CHILDREN... your worse than my brother :P and thts saying something ^.^ x
that's make the blog better
I decided to no use proxies. Jenna, don't delete the blog, you done so much for it, don't delete it, please .
I'm sorry your parents limited you:(
wow. you guys suck. ive been using them for a year and nothing ever happened? you're about to get a lot less followers. this is the worst decision youve ever made.
Well its your fault for putting money into it I dont even spend real money on sd and I probally wont but its not your fault you got hacked and for others you can get hacked or get a virus by using a proxy and why are calling her selfish? she is trying to make it safe for us and you guys are just fxxing greedy
But I still will use proxies since i'm smart enough not to click the ads
Blissss
Me getting hacked by a proxy is something stardoll just used a s an excuse. It was impossible for them to see that on their end as I never use them. So it was a lie. They prob read the blog saw proxies and used that as an excuse to not take responsibility.
Also it's actually 29 that they are not returning. They took 83 items and Stardoll is only looking at one day hence the 59.
In light of the recent hacking problems and Stardoll security problems, Operation: Stardoll Fightback has begun.
We are fighting for all those who have been ignored and mistreated by Stardoll.
We want better security for our accounts that we spend our hard earned money on!
Please come help this cause out!
http://operationstardollfightback.blogspot.com/
please dont stop posting the proxies and everything you're the best blog becouse you always have everything please please please don't stop and btw proxies cant hack you that's a lie if it where true then i would'nt have my account since im a stardollroyalty and i've been using proxies for 3 years now so please dont stop
I never use proxies.
