Lots of friends have reported that they have tried to book for 'Errol Flynn's Great Big Adventure Book for Boys' through BOCS Ticketing, only to be told it is sold out. IT IS NOT SOLD OUT! For example, Saturday 19 is shown on the bocsticketing website as SOLD OUT, yet the returns to Harbour say there are only 4 seats sold. What the....is going on here? SABOTAGE I say!! So, if you want to see 'Errol' but have been put off by BOCS, try your luck at the door. Chances are you'll get in, thanks to the bocs saboteurs. The worst that can happen is that you might have to spend the evening in Clancy's next door - come to think of it...hmmmm!!! As Errol would say, "God, I HATE you (sabotaging) BASTARDS!"

BOCS - Sold out notices

Having experienced this BOCS notice, I investigated with BOCS to be told that BOCS web bookings close at ~ 4pm on Weekdays, early on Saturdays and are closed on Sundays and (?)Public Holidays. Thereafter they cannot sell any more tickets until their next working day,and the SOLD OUT notice takes over. They cannot advise callers to ring the theatre, or check when the Box Office opens etc because that might inconvenience a lot of people, and indeed the show could be SOLD OUT! So for Amateur theatre I've found it best to give your regular clients a Company number they can call to reserve seats (after 4pm for that evening and at weekends)- OR, if your Box Office is also run by BOCS give them the Box Office number.

Can people not moderate

Can people not moderate down spam? There is a spam reporting button that should be used. If you moderate it down, it still appears on the site: if you use the spam button, it goes away forever. Moppet eyes now on sale at Puppets in Melbourne

Spam not working

Na, the Report as Spam doesn not appear to work like that anymore. I reported the posting but it remains until Admin reviews it. I have reported a few Spam items and they have all operated in the same way.

I believe Grant is aware of the issue. Besides, the point is to remove it totally, not just 'hide' it. Moppet eyes now on sale at Puppets in Melbourne

Umm...

Umm... that's my point - the functionality to HIDE is not there presently. If Grant is aware of the issue, maybe it has been removed for a technical reason - it seemed to go with the Serve Upgrade.

Thanks Labrug and Na.All

Thanks Labrug and Na.

All registered members can report spam - it will not be auto-magically removed.

Something had happened to the settings that allowed editors to actually mark something of spam. Now restored.

Cheers
Grant
