Its a board for opinions, by that nature you are going to have your critics. I would have thought that anyone who posted a rumour, would be open to criticism if that rumour turned out to be untrue or high praise if it turned out to be true.You take that chance when you post.

Just a question, and I'm not having a dig or anything, honestly curious, but why read the threads if you find info like that boring? if I see a subject that does not interest me, i just bypass it (sometimes I do look, only as a moderator, and a post may have been reported) in fairness to Bozza he normally makes the thread title very obvious as to what the subject matter is about.
As I say, just curious why anyone opens a thread on a subject that is not for them.

By their very nature transfer stories can change very quickly, so not surprising this has happened here. Keep posting this stuff as surely this is part of what NSC is for for!

Carry on, but please make them less cryptic.

Just make it obvious that it's a rumour rather than a fact. Simple

Your support is not that great
Half the fun of a messageboard like this is reading about rumours. I can't believe the grief some people are given for sharing info that they've heard.
We can all make up our minds about the reliability of the information based on the poster's history, and by asking questions and discussing the topic. But some people would rather bypass all that and just flame anyone who claims to have heard something.
As for this business about "attention seeking" ... how exactly does that work? In most cases we don't know each other's true identity because we hide behind silly pseudonyms.

I'd keep the rumours to yourself, you don't need the grief. **** 'em. 99% of us appreciate your information but I can see how the vocal minority can wear you down. Go for the easy life.

Keep on doing as you are - after the season ends there's little or no news as it is so any snippet is gratefully received - unfortunately some people just love others to be wrong.
I'm mindful of the fact that footballers contracts don't normally end till June 30th so there's going to be little or no definite "news" till then anyway

1. Said player holding up an Albion shirt/kissing the badge.
2. Said player being photographed in the Grand Hotel with a current copy of the Sun.
3. Said player being interviewed by Sky Sports in the stadium car park saying " Brighton has always been my team since I was a boy, this is my spiritual home, I can't wait to play in Europe etc. etc.".

Who is this person that knows more than me? Because despite not knowing a single thing about our transfer activity, I'm struggling to find anyone on here who knows more.

Nothing else to talk about in the close season, so as long as the are 'genuine' rumours (i.e. not just completely made up) keep 'em coming.

Keep posting them cryptic style, I like that, it makes for some fun 
Anyone with half a brain knows that even if it is a strong rumour, that transfers do collapse and information that is good one day may not be the next.
Putting stuff on here unless posted with picture evidence is never believed sadly !

I would like every member of NSC to vet every rumour to decide whether it's worthy of our attention

Exactly this.
I don't have a problem with rumours when they are from decent sources - it's the utterly pathetic 'my mate's cousin's cleaner just saw x,y or z at the training ground' type rumours that annoy me. Those people should get a ban until the season starts. Your type of rumour - keep going.
