Default Futureshop Hockey contest/Cheating

For those that have pads for the Futureshop Hockey Pad contest take a look at your pad. I have had 6 people sign up in 2 minutes and 5 of the names were from the same person using different usernames. I think someone is playing unfair or even sabotaging the contest. Take a look at the 1st couple of pads and see what I mean...strange names, people accusing others of cheating etc. Futureshop should either shut down the contest or at the end of it just draw a name from all the people entered and thats it.

Yeah, I don't like these contests where you get people to vote for you, they're highly susceptible to cheating.

And I know that they say you'll be disqualified for multiple entries in a contest but a lot of them don't actually catch multiple entries.

I set up a pad, joined someone else's and then erased the link.

Can someone post it again please so that I can check it out?

I rather have the contest sponser choose the winner than voting,,, Your creativity does not matter with voting.... as in most contests that i have entered, some votes have been ridiculously high for something really bad.
