    wow that was a bit harsh thought we were all meant to help one another out on this forum.

    Yes, we are meant to help one another, but not illegally

    Please read the below
    Hi Folks

    Quick note regarding codes with Sky. Can people please stop posting "back door" links for Sky and attempting to get around the system. We've removed a number of posts on this, and yet it's still happening. We'd have thought the removals would have indicated we can't allow that on the MSE Forum, but for the sake of clarity please treat this post as official notice not to do it. We run a forum that deals with LEGAL moneysaving only, and this type of action weakens the site's reputation and means these companies may stop running these offers at all, at worst they may decide to challenge the site itself. We really don't need an expensive legal issue with Sky, or anyone else.

    Help us here please guys; we really don't want to start getting heavy handed on this but accounts will be warned and stopped if it continues. Thanks

    I hadn't seen that post before and its understandable that its been posted if you had just said that in the first place then I would have understood.

    Thanks for bringing it to my attention
  • The desperate-for-thanks geordie_ben spouts rules to everyone else. Yet, so desperate for thanks he is that he posts the same thing twice. Have people been taking your fmuk codes and been posting them before you can get them - awww diddums (any one of us could just get codes from fmuk, but none of the rest of us seem as desperate as you do to get thanks). Can you remove your clutter from the codes only thread and keep discussion to discussion. Just since you want to spout rules to everyone else. Yet here is another prime example of you contradicting yourself.

    Due to extreme weather conditions, distributors have been unable to get the Print of Love and Other Drugs to Glasgow or Edinburgh for the Galaxy Radio Previews TOMORROW, Tuesday 7th December.
    We do apologise for any inconvenience but the cancellation is due to matters beyond our control.
    We will however, send you an early alert for the next Galaxy Preview in your area.
    Best wishes
    Showfilmfirst (for Galaxy Radio)
    We are really sorry to tell you that the Galaxy Radio Preview of Love & Other Drugs scheduled to play at Cineworld tonight is cancelled due to extreme weather conditions.

    Apologies for any inconvenience,

    Excuse me? One post stating that edin/glasgow screenings are cancelled, then another which i'm guessing is aimed at every cinema.... i dont think they're duplicates at all

    and please please please please explain how in your head notifying people of cancelled screenings is classed as discussion.... please do, cos i'd love to hear it

    And what are you prattling on about FMUK for? Someone from FMUK asked me to not post codes so fast so FMUK could have all the tickets.... dont see how you've managed to turn that one against me.

    And the posts seemed to have been removed anyway. i really hope someone doesnt battle thru the snow, just to get to the cinema and find out they're screening was cancelled

    Tibbs, if you've got a problem with my posts then click my name and put me on your ignore list

    Cancellation emails get sent directly to the person who has applied for tickets.

    Cancellations emails have always been posted in discussion - before you.

    Re-read my post about FMUK.

    You speak as though no one else can read an email sent to them.

    Equally, if you have a problem with the multiple posters that you moan about on here, then put them on your ignore list.

    Funny how i got the email about edin/glasgow... even tho I didnt apply for tickets for any of those cinemas

    I've seen them many a time in the codes only board

    I know quite a few people who get their SFF emails sent to a different email address, compared to the emails from MSE, so there is a chance people could miss the emails if they dont check the other as often

    As I said, the people who apply for the tickets get the email anyway.

    Lots of chat gets posted on the code only thread, and you complain about it all the time.

    Like I said, it gets sent to their email.



    The next time you complain about someone posting something wrong (yet contradict yourself so many times), then I'll suggest that you put them on your ignore list. Please feel free to start with me.

    Just out of interest, who else think notifying people of cancelled screenings is chat?
