I didn't get a chance to see your post, just saw the topic title in my inbox, but I assume it was not an SFF code where first come first serve matters? London Free Film Festivals and other free screenings that are not SFF are also only posted on the regional board.

I don't follow. London is one of the regional boards - although admittedly, it gets one to itself and Birmingham goes under West Midlands.
Preferred cinemas:
Vue West End, Cineworld Haymarket, Odeon West End, Odeon Leicester Square, Empire Leicester Square, Cineworld O2, Cineworld Shaftesbury Avenue and Odeon Panton Street, followed by anywhere in central(ish) London.

Asamaic: It's regarding a FF post brumm33 made that was moved to the regional board.

SFF codes will always make it to Free Films, regardless of the location. Everything else that doesn't require the urgency of first come first served bookings with a code will always go on the regional boards only, like the Film Festival you posted. It's quite easy to check this out instead of complaining. There are loads of London miscellaneous screenings that don't make it on FF for that very reason.

Oh pardon me for daring to ask a question! Did not realise we were living in Nazi Germany! Glad Canadian_turtle has manners and knows how to be polite and show respect to other members!

You are seriously out of line now. Don't you dare use the N word on me again ever.
Btw, if you've read the rules for posting on Free Films, it's all on there. Checking before complaining isn't that hard, you know. If still not sure, you could have always politely PM'd a mod to enquire why your post was moved.
