+Aer72 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I know I won't be popular by asking but if anyone has any TB codes they are not planning on using I would be hugely grateful. If so please send me it by message Quote Link to comment

+Viajero Perdido Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Studies have shown people are more likely to agree to a request if a reason is given, even if it's not a good reason. In the study I'd read about, I think the line was "Could you let me go ahead of you, because I don't want to wait?". (Influence, by Cialdini.) 2 Quote Link to comment

If that is the case, I might be more willing to give up a code. If the cause is "I'm poor and can't afford to buy tags," that's your right. But I won't give anyone any codes without knowing WHY. 3 Quote Link to comment

Refusing to give any explanation is a sure-fire way of killing any chance of your request being fulfilled. 2 Quote Link to comment

Such as you It probably would have been more effective to respond to their original post in that forum topic or to private message them. It might even help to add a @Max & 99 to your post when it is directed to someone specific. Edited June 14, 2018 by Team Christiansen 1 Quote Link to comment

Such as you That's odd, max and 99 aren't even in this thread (yet), and aren't mentioned until A-Team's statement. We can't read minds... Why didn't you respond in the thread that they posted in? Clicking on the posted date you included links to their post... Agree with Team Christiansen, if you didn't want "others" responding, email's a good option next time. Quote Link to comment

Such as you I'm sure you can understand how your OP sounds like you're asking anyone that happens to read your thread to consider giving you a code? I mean, you did say "if anyone has any TB codes". When people write things to a specific person, then they usually would say "if you have any...". Quote Link to comment
