To be fair, I've seen people do this with specific American accents too, trying to write out a strong New York or Brooklyn accent, etc. And I've seen writers who I know are British write out dialect for characters with specific British accents as well (people writing Tom McNair from Being Human come to mind immediately - I'm not up on my accents, but google tells me it's a Derby or Midlands accent and trying to read it written out is painful and unnecessary.)

Stephen King, when writing a character with a thick Maine accent for example, will often take a moment at some point to note how something a character says sounds to another character, and then move on from there without typing everything out in that accent. This is a far less annoying approach, in my opinion (though I think often even that is unnecessary if it's a character in fanfic where the audience is already familiar with the character. Syntax and vocabulary should definitely be enough)
