Hey everyone, following up my complaint...
Basically I emailed Tell Ten saying that they had got the dates wrong and so I couldn't see State of Play yesterday. They have just replied saying that if I send them my address, they will send me tickets to see any film I wish at my local Odeon! Woop!
Hope this can help those who had the same problem as me..

1. Wouldn't it be easier if this thread was stickied too? So people could find it easier

2. In the codes only thread, the link to the discussion thread is about 2 years out of date, would be helpful to update it??

3. Couldnt someone or two or 3 people who mod the thread already, just collect all the codes in one place on the front page, so it would look like;

State of Play;

Code 1234, 1235, 1236 works for these cinemas,
Code 1255 works for these alternative cinemas

Coraline

Code 123, 124, works for these cinemas

Star Trek
Code 1701 (hehe) works for these cinemas

That way you'd only have to look at one page.

Also, if there are any Norwich MSE'ers who regularly get codes, please PM me your username, thanks :-)

Got to say I agree too, for some reason there seems to be a few brainless retards who are unable to understand when it clearly states "Codes Only" and "No Discussion" that it means posts are to be made only to pass on a new code. Why some people fail to be able to understand such basic english is beyond me
IMO it would help if a poster who was guilty of "discussion" was warned the first time and then had posting rights removed if they posted a second time
Perhaps it would help if the discussion thread was also made into a "sticky" so that it didn't move too far down this section, thus making sure that people are aware that this thread exists for discussing the codes only thread

Do you know what really really makes me mad, is when some idiot sees somone has said no chat and they have posted just to say they are chatting too and are being ironic!! I have steam blowing out of my ears lol

Yeah that irony comment is annoying as hell maybe it's because it's the only word they can spell

Complain? Bit over the top in my opinion...Who would I complain to anyway? I think they did a pretty good job at refunding...I got premier seats too

So my suggestion wasn't as 'over the top' as you first assumed?

MSE guidelines are that there are 5 or 6 maximum STICKY threads per board, and the FREEBIES board already has SEVEN !

Board guides & moderators already have enough work on their plate keeping good order, deleting offensive & controversial posts, dealing with spammers etc.
On average there are well over 2000 (probably about 2200) NEW THREADS EVERY DAY and many tens if not hundreds of thousands of posts every day.
Trying to collate and present free cinema codes is not their responsibility, nor should it be part of their remit.
Only the other day one film had at least 16 codes to my knowledge - screenings were on 3 different days and covered well over 100 cinemas in total. These were in various and random selections of anything from 2 or 3 cinemas, up to groupings of 30 or 40.
A single post of just this film, never mind the other 8 or 9 that were on at the time - another 50 or so codes, would have be a mammoth task to present as you suggest.

If nobody asks questions or posts answers, chats about codes not working, or that a particular screening is full or is now working again, and the thread is kept short, and people aren't lazy and do check that they aren't about to post a duplicate, and those deliberately obnoxious predictable and repetitive morons (you know who you are - and we do too) that are out to be just obnoxious predictable and repetitive morons could stop being 4 year-olds and grow up, or better still go and play on a very busy road somewhere .......

... then there wouldn't be a problem

And board guides / mods would be over the moon !
