PokerNews an affiliate disgrace

Reading through the forum, I have come to learn that many people are going through the same crap I am.
PokerNews for some reason has decided not to distribute tournament tickets to players who fairly and squarely qualify for these freerolls.
EMAILING freerolls@pokernews.com IS NOT GOING TO DO A DAMN THING, EVEN IF YOU DO GET SOME LAME REPLY LIKE "WE ARE LOOKING INTO IT."
TERRIBLE MALPRACTICE, SINCE MANY OF US WERE ABLE TO PLAY IN THE FREEROLLS IN THE PAST BUT HAVE NOW BEEN OFFLOADED LIKE THERE IS SOME SORT OF EXPIRY DATE ON THE VALIDITY OF OUR RAKEBACK.
I would really like to know who is running the show at PokerNews, because Tony G has too much decency to let this pass. Below is a typical excuse email you will get from PokerNews, the kind of which they have been templating out for months without ever getting back or fixing the problem.
Hello,
We are sorry for the inconvenience and problems that occurred this weekend with the PokerStars $15,000 Sunday Millions Freeroll. There was sadly a problem with the mailout sent from PokerStars notifying all qualified players as well as an issue with the tickets getting delivered. We are currently working on resolving this issue and we will get back to you shortly with an answer on how we will proceed.
Again we apologize for the problems and at the same time we would like to thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.
Sincerely,
Johan Hallegard

If there is anyone with a thread of honesty at PokerNews, something needs to be done. The 15k Sunday Millions Freeroll is coming up, and once again one of the most loyal PokerNews players, "FOLDCapeesh?" wont be on that list, and you can expect that account will be deleted soon, no one makes money out of me for free.
