    More advanced threads (such as towns/cities/counties) would never attract posters, so would be pointless.

    As would a cancellation thread

    Or just adhere to the title of the thread.

    Codes ONLY.

    This discussion has gone on for years. The Board Guides used to deal with the extraneous posts but don't bother now.

    We need a firmer hand. The clutter only makes it more difficult for people to see the real codes. As it is each code posted usually has two or three extra posts added making it worse, then the chat then the various returns. It gets silly.

    Anything other than codes should be posted in this discussion thread and people should be checking every day to see if they can get tickets as people return them and don't necessarily post to say so here.

    Less posts = less clutter and hopefully will lead to less dupes (although people should be using the search facility)

    There are also people to consider who still pay to access the thread or who are in work and need to be quick. They deserve respect and don't need the unnecessary alerts.

    Probably cos so many people on here slag them off - you all know how you are

    I used to PM the BGs and give them the post numbers which need cleared down, but I got sick of the people moaning on here, so I stopped

    BGs aren't there to trawl thru the boards, nor are they there to be abused like some do on this board.

    If you want them to help you, then be nice. Pretty simple

    Lately they have been checking the ID I'm afraid. Not at all cinemas but some.

    Provide evidence. I have requested that they deal with erroneous posts. That is not slagging people off.

    As for you, you change your mind whenever it suits. You seem to think you have the right to tell people what rules they should adhere to and then break them yourself

    And we are all well aware of how much you have sucked up to the Board Guides. If one takes on a responsibility, then they should carry it out.

    It is well known that the Codes only thread needs to be watched daily but they obviously don't as is pretty evident by accumulative rubbish that is currently on it.

    BTW if this message disappears, I have copied it and will be taking further steps to prove that there is bias meted out on here.

    WRONG THREAD!

    Try to understand this is Codes Only.

    Here's the right place for you to go: :)

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3766197

    Actually, there's no thread for this.. asking for tickets will mean people will need to swap personal details which is against the rules of the website

    And yes, this one is just for you Pooch *kisses*

    So because it doesnt benefit you, you dont want the notifications?

    Are you as annoyed when your cinema isnt on the list? or the time isnt to your liking?

    This site is to help everyone, not just the majority.

    If you dont want notifications that aren't helpful to yourself then I can think of an easy resolution...

    That's right this site is to help everyone but by putting these useless items up on the codes board we are only helping a minority usually a minority of 2, if i ever deemed to put anything useless on the codes only board i am sure i would have had a flea in my ear and no i don't get annoyed if my cinema isn't on a list or the time doesn't suit me (which is usually 6.30 anyway) because i am not petty minded if i was that bad i would get annoyed because every other film seems to be for Sky movie customers and that show film first have cut down on the number of films that they show since the recession so i usually end up going to see a decent one on Orange Wednesday now, unfortunately because so many people are breaking the rules on the CODES ONLY board us rule abiders are deemed to be the ones out of order and i can think of an easy resolution for that too.

    Why don't we have a thread exclusively for arguments about what should be on the "codes only" thread and what should be on the "discussion thread"?
