Fire Tiger (5/4/2008)
starry*boy (5/2/2008)
When you get an email from them this is what it looks like NOTE at the bottom it says to click there if you wannaSTOP getting emails.First, if it isn't an opt-in email, it is spam. I would hope that DogChannel.com is a responsible emailer. Second, what I was talking about was the poll DogChannel.com was conducting. Without giving the choice of "Never", it is an invalid poll since its results do not give poll takers this option. It is like having a poll, "When would you like to be killed?" and not have the "Never" option. What you have is a poll that makes the wrong assumption that everyone wants to get the e-newsletter and I am willing to bet all my points that such is not the case. Unless DogChannel.com wants false false results support a spam campaign, it needs to redo the poll and give the "Never" option so it can get a true picture of preferences. First,dogchannel is not spam and i dont think your abligated to say that. and i get ther news letters there very interesting and not spam.Second,if theres not an choice you like dont vote! its not misleading. i do this all the time, if theres a poll saying something and it dosent have an option i like than i dont cast a vote.its not a big deal! its a poll. and dog channel isnt supporting ANY spam campaign. ask a d.c. monitor... and try signing up for a news letter.

at the bottom it dose say "if you dont want these anymore click this link." (it dosent exactly say that though.)Such a non-opt-in email is spam. also a suggestion, if theres not a choice you like on the poll why vote? To reduce spam as much as possible. i will say it again its not spam. its a new letter. why dont you try and sing up for one!

| I also have to agree with Fire Tiger... He might want the emails anyway, that's why he was sent the email in the first place. But there are people who don't want any news lettters from them, and he's thinking about them. You can't tell me you haven't stuck up for someone whose views are different from yours, right? Of course, I don't know this....just making an assumption, because that's probably what I would do. Besides, the poll shows up on the homepage too, right? What if they wanted to answer there and "Never" wasn't on there? Back on topic, I really think "Never" should be an option on the poll.
 
Misty and Jaxon Heidi and Bandit
Bandit-14-16 year old male Australian Shepherd/Cocker Spaniel/Dachshund.
Heidi-11 year old female Chow Chow/German Shepherd.
Misty-4 year old female half Siberian Husky, half German Shepherd.
Jaxon-1 year old male purebred Siberian Husky.
Jazzie- 3 month old Siberian Husky mix.

| Ummm..hate to disagree with you annielovesmomma, but a newletter which is unwanted and chock full of ads is indeed spam. I have been getting rather annoyed by DC's ads. I've never seen a message board with more ads, and to be honest, I find it bothersome and somewhat insulting to be bombarded with ads. The recent little pop up really gets to me. But back to topic....yes, all options should be provided in a poll if accurate results are wanted.
