So this is my 3rd time losing tickets because it "appeared" i had posted 6 freebies. Yes it is my fault because I continuously forget not to respond because it causes the topic to go back to top of the page.All I am asking is that moderators take the time too see if the topic is old. Or that the date the topic was posted be shown. Even Though I included in the title that this was my 5th not 6th freebie, It was deleted, and what was the reason? "You can only post 5 freebies a day" ???

Second I lost four tickets not two, can someone please explain this: . I guess I should be grateful i did not lose 8 tickets, but still why four?

Third, I think it would be fair if a member could make a strong case to a moderator that their freebie was valid, the moderator should be able to return the tickets or permit the person to post more freebies......I'm sure there is a better idea out there :p

Also I think it would be easier if Lottery Ticket History was organized the same way messages are. Present post to past post not past to present.

I usually do check the date of posting for the freebie posts if there is more than one reply to the topic. That really depends on who moderated the forum and didn't realize the date of posting. It was just a mistake that was made, but honestly I'm not positive if the tickets would be returned if a moderator undeleted a topic.

Maybe you lost four tickets because the moderator who deleted it might have marked the topic as spam twice? Really that is a bug and needs to be fixed, since it was only one topic and not two. I've looked through your post history and there was only one.

As for the ticket history being organized by the most recent date, you can already do this by clicking the "Date" column twice (the title of the column). I agree though, it should be set to most recent date by default instead.



What if there was an extra column in the forums or something that displays the date the thread was created? I think that would cause less confusion of topics appearing as more than 5 posts in the free stuff section.

I agree. My suggestion would be to place the original posting date under the name of the person who it was "started by". And its no problem Im willing to accept the lost, its my fault for forgetting not to post them in a row again :facepalm:
