Help! What am I doing wrong?

#1 Post by McG » Wed Jul 27, 2011 10:50 am

I posted a free film a few days ago and mucked it up and got several rows for doing it wrong. I decided I wouldn't try to post again but this am noticed that Sky free preview The Guard was now available and tried to post. It appeared for 2 minutes and then disappeared. What am I doing wrong??

the very important part in the paragraph Please do NOT post any of the following on Free Films

basically for each person chatting in free film or putting up a code that has already been posted, hundreds of people receive an alert in their mailboxes... this is not really nice and does not comply with the FREE FILM thread rules ;)

as for your post disappearing, this is because you probably did not respect 1 of the rules and the Moderation Team removed your post ;)

Neither of the above really answered his question. Just WHAT DID HE DO WRONG?! He doesn't want a list of things he potentially did wrong ;-). The man wants answers! And frankly so do I! (I really don't)

I think there was information missing in his FF post - no locations and no link to the sky rewards page.

I suspect the post was along the lines of:
"The guard is now live on sky"
Such posts are a waste of time and are guaranteed to be deleted.

What you need in every FF post is:
A link to somewhere which will allow you to book - eventually.
A booking code - if necessary.
A list of cinemas where the screening is taking place - to stop those who aren't on the list wasting their time.

If you have all those in your post you won't be deleted.
