jane22

LittleJaffa, you need to move your post to this thread. As per above, your question is no more important than anyone else's, sorry to burst your bubble

In response to Little Jaffas post on the other thread !

can someone clarify is this site for free cinema tickets, or competitions to win tickets?

there is a difference and until recently it's been free tickets, with competions on the competition thread.

i post this hear and not in the discussion thread because i'd like a clear answer from someone on high, NOT a discussion, and hope if the response is 'no competitions' everyone will delete there posts.

i will of course delete this when it's been responded to

many thanks

I have just followed the info posted by "torialou" (many thanks) and managed to "win" tickets to the champagne and chocolate premier of The painted veil.
I know the overall thread is re "freebies", but these often involve a phone call, or buying a magazine/newspaper. Strictly speaking nothing which involves you spending money (inc a stamp, or even paying for internet connection to enable you to get these "freebies") should be allowed.
But, speaking personally I am grateful for any information which in this instance saves me substantially when going to the cinema.
Even printing off an email and taking it to the cinema to collect your ticket a week before the actual screening, is in effect costing you money ( and time), but I would much rather have all these CINEMA related bargins under one roof, as it were, rather than scattered over the 'competitions', 'discounts' and 'freebies' threads.
In the past I have copied posts from this thread over to the Newspaper thread on the Discount Codes....section, because there was an offer to a free screening in the Sun.
There are many areas where the threads overlap, and I think a bit of common sense and flexibility goes a long way to help everyone
Just my personal opinion.

Thanks to everyone again for their contributions and postings, I really appreciate it, as do my family and friends who I am slowly converting to being MSEs:T

Well, apparently now the method of asking people politely via PM to delete irrelevant posts is no longer acceptable... littlejaffa thinks that only moderators are worth listening to. Anyway, littlejaffa, now you have TWO answers to your question, please can you delete the post?

jane22

Oh, and The Old Bag,accordnig to a PM I just received, little jaffa isn't interested from responses from people like you and me. He/she only wants to hear from moderators. Noone else's opinion counts, apparently! And it's the fact that he wants to hear from a mod which makes it ok to post on the offers thread....

jane22

Oh, update, littlejaffa really does only want to hear from "someone on high" so please don't PM him or reply to his question unless you are "someone on high". Some people!

littlejaffa

i'm really sorry to have to post this but after 4 abusive pm's from jane22 (including 2 after i'd specifically asked her not to contact me again) and seeing what she's wrote publicly on here i had to respond.

I asked for someone 'on high' to respond to save everyone else bothering and prevent an in thread discussion. I had no idea who the moderator was or how to contact them directly, or even that i could contact them directly, or i would have done. (I didn't even know there were called moderators)

If anyone has been offended or bothered by my post i'd sugest your taking mse to seriously, but there is no excuse for the abuse i've received by pm.

As this is meant for cinema ticket discussion i will not post again and will delete this post when all personall comments about me have been deleted.

Many thanks

Why don't you post the part of my message you found offensive, littlejaffa? I'm mystified.

first message:


"Competitions and offers are fine. Just please delete your post, it's not an offer, and that's what the thread is for. I know you want a reply to your question, but so does everyone, and that's what the discussion thread is for. It's the same moderator for both so no advantage to posting your thread on the one you chose apart from irritating people. Thanks for deleting it asap."

"No......... are you?" (in response to message "are you the moderator?")

"It's equally obvious that I'm not a moderator!

If you want to hear from the moderator,and them alone, why not just PM them? Why did you make a public posting? Other people, like me, are just trying to help you. But you're not interested? How rude! Why don't you just PM the moderator and delete your post?"

and "Oh and there's another reply to your message on the correct thread. (i.e. the discussion thread)."

What on earth was offensive? I answered your question, pointed you to another answer, and suggested you delete your message as everyone gets annoyed about posts on the wrong thread. Sorry, I assumed that after 607 posts you would know that there are moderators on this board (they call them board guides, specifically)... they're listed at the bottom of the page and one of them, heather, is the person who maintains the thread about free tickets. I genuinely think that if you want to hear from a moderator and only a moderator, surely PM is best?!

jane22 - on the attack again about people posting on the wrong thread. 42 post counts and most of them must have been whinging about something or somebody no doubt. What happened to the rules about always being helpful ad friendly? You are going to put people off posting at all !

This was my FRIENDLY pm NOT.

"Please delete your message on the free cinema postings thread. This has been said so many times, but evidently it's difficult for some of you to understand. The thread is ONLY for offers. That means no requests, no jokes, no comments, no film reviews. Nothing apart from ticket offers.

Many of us have subscribed so that we get an email every time someone posts, and we just aren't interested in your questions and requests. There is another thread for those.

It's a fairly simple concept, so please can you try and stick to it. If you could delete your message"

jane22

But i, and someone else, have tried to help little jaffa but he isnt interested in our help!!!! That's why I think he should just PM the mod, because he doesn't want to hear what anyone else has to say... i think that's a bit rude as well.

'Please can you try to keep this thread for the offers only, so that people can find the offers easily.'

Anyone care to share with me what's difficult to understand about this quote from the 'tickets only' thread?

Also....what's this 'I'll delete this later' nonsense!....you know you shouldn't be posting there off topic so don't do it!
