You get trolled less on here? There’s dozens of threads on here with vague titles that turn out to people moaning about meaningless stuff that I wish I hadn’t bothered with. Maybe I should start a poll?

I have nothing to do with the club apart from being a fan. But a few years back the club did use to have a Twitter account purely for the womens team, but closed it and smartly decided to merge their updates into @officialbhafc - quite right too.
Yep. Someone at the club should be BANNED I tell ya

Doesn't really bother me, but I agree it's deliberate clickbaiting, which is slightly irritating

Click bait implying they generate revenue per click.
I guess that’s how it works, right? Click bait really isn’t difficult to understand, either.
Furthermore to add this, again, the women’s team is apart of the club. It is the same news source. You’ve completely missed the point, but a regular occurrence of yours.

No - clickbait implying they induce a click with devious word usage.
Not that it matters anymore to me - the clickbait from the albion now heads straight to junk and 14 day deletion without me seeing it.
An alternative method is to open your mind to the idea that your club has a number of teams that represent BHAFC.
Just a thought.

Perhaps one shouldn't be sure which team is turning out in the next PL game. I'm sure you'd not be disappointed with the women occasionally playing instead of the men, nor would the other 30000 people. Let's have true equality.

Because hardly anybody is interested in the women's team and it's a bit annoying to get your hopes up about a signing for the Albion when it's not the Albion 99.9% of us are interested in.
Not being interested does not equate to luddite attitudes nor does it mean that people wish ill in the women's team. It means they are not interested.

No one should vote in this poll the questions are clearly phrased to make sure only one answer is acceltable
And yet a sufficient number of people who belong to the majority 'no, let's not sack the board' contingent have still managed to tick something. The factious answer. Even that is better than the peevish option.
You're right, by the way. Obviously.

I was expecting much better from NSC's resident devil's advocate. Oh well

Click bait is a method of producing revenue through links with exaggerated and or misleading wording/headline. Really isn’t difficult, the news is related to the club. It isn’t exaggerated or misleading, because they have quite literally signed a player for the club.
Click bait is a primary source of income for faux news sites like buzzfeed and similar.

Incorrect.
The revenue element is incidental and certainly not a requirement.
"Clickbait*is a form of*false advertisementwhich uses*hyperlink*text or a*thumbnail*linkthat is designed to attract attention and entice users to follow that link and read, view, or listen to the linked piece of online*content, with a defining characteristic of being deceptive, typically*sensationalized*or*misleading.[2][3]*A "teaser" aims to exploit the "curiosity gap", providing just enough information to make readers of news websites*curious, but not enough to satisfy their curiosity without clicking through to the linked content.*Click-bait headlines*add an element of dishonesty, using enticements that do not accurately reflect the content being delivered.[4][5][6]*The "-bait" part of the term is used in analogy to fishing, where a hook is disguised by an enticement (bait), presenting the impression to the fish that it is a desirable thing to swallow."

It really isn't difficult to see that the albion sending out deviously and slyly titled emails is a poor practice which should be shamed rather than celebrated.

**** me, Wikipedia is your source... meanwhile people I work with mainly in marketing etc refer to as a method of generating income. The revenue is everything because that’s the entire bloody point.
But again, you’re missing the point but using Wikipedia as a source, implies there’s a good reason why.

Be bored all you want, epitome of NSC. Talking about something you don’t know anything about
Looking forward to all the ‘waah waah why did the club do this without telling us’ threads from some of those who are confining what is effectively a newsfeed/info source (not ‘trolling’ or ‘clickbait’ IMO) to junk without being read.
