I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | That thread use to be fun to read, and everything was going fine for a long time. There was one weekly contest where people took turns to enter their dogs and people supported them, the winner got $200, and no one competed against each other, and waited their turn. That all changed when someone posted a link to the million dollar contest, and people all decided to enter their dogs, and there was even a way to take votes away from people. This really upset members to see that their dogs were getting negative votes, and many fights ensued. People started posting threads about the contest on other YT forums, which is against YT rules, and there were also vent threads about people cheating. So when the prize was just a couple of hundred bucks, Yorkietalkers were very supportive of each other, but when it went up to a million, greed rose it ugly head.

| i agree and pardon me for saying but it also has some of the ugliest yorkies I have ever seen. I wouldn't vote for an ugly dog just because it belongs to a YT member. Guess I better duck under my chair now!!!!!!!!!! |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i am so sick of the contest posts. the official vote thread is hard to find and most people don't know about it. even when they do know about it they will still post in the general section. its so annoying.

| Twalla, thank you for starting this thread. I, too, am tired of all of the "VOTE FOR ME" threads --both for furkids and skinkids. Those requests should be made either in the appropriate forum OR via pm's. I think it will take all of us grumps reporting the threads to get them stopped. |
