City’s newest football team officially opens new club shop
Coventry United set up shop for free inside scooter store.
I'd actually forgot all about them, tbh.

Fair enough, Nick. But why edit the Title from "New Club Shop"?

How about just leaving it and let other people decide for themselves instead of dictating?

Because if it isn't misleading they can decide before, rather than going all clickbait on it

If it's titled "New Club Shop" people instantly think it is for CCFC. The same as when people do things like "Collins Signs" and then put "For Luton".

I believe people are intelligent enough to understand the difference between "Football & Other Sports" and "Coventry City General Chat"?

And to call it "clickbait" ffs, you think that's why I posted the thread? Get a grip.

It matters because I thought this was an open forum and you could post what you like within reason, not be dictated too.

If they click "New Posts" or use Tapatalk it isn't that obvious where it is and people might see the title and think we have a new club shop and click anyway.

I'm not sure what the massive issue is?

So what's the issue? Why does it bother you?

I edited the title from "New Club Shop" to "New Coventry United Shop" to prevent any confusion and people seeing it and thinking we had one. Common sense.

It's hardly being dictated to because 2 words were changed in the title to stop confusion and people from being a bit misled.

I'm on Tapatalk and it don't come up as what sub forum topics are posted in.
Hence my initial response.

I always only click new posts, so am never sure which forum threads are in.

Seems that Vow has a serious case of the Gilberts. If you have a thread titled new club shop on a CCFC forum most people will draw the obvious conclusion.

Yes, quite clearly dictating because I changed the title to stop confusion.

What's the massive issue that it says "New Club Shop" and not "New Coventry United Shop"? Does it make a massive difference to you, considering the post content is exactly the same?

Hardly, Dave, I think you'll find a lot of titles on the forum are leading or some misleading to get folks to read it, plus it was in the "Football and Other sports" Forum.

ha, I don't go to "newest post" myself as I'm on PC so can always tell the difference between forums.

Anyhow, Nick, what's the problem of people being mis-lead/lead in the first place, isn't that the whole point of a forum? they can look and decide for themselves.

To be fair, Vow (nice chap that you are and all that), if anyone (like me) always only clicks on 'new posts' and they see a thread saying 'New club shop,' they would indeed think it was a new Coventry City shop.

I am glad for the slight amendment.

If Cov Utd open a new shop in a scooter place and there is nobody that gives a shit then does it really exist.

If I spot ones that are clearly misleading like that I adjust them so they aren't and always have done and then try and delete the tweets they generate so they don't mislead. I don't always catch them in time but try when I can.

The whole point of a forum isn't for misleading thread titles and then they click in and see it's not what they thought, no.

I'm not too sure why you are so keen for people to be misled into thinking it is a CCFC club shop you are on about when it isn't?

I'm not keen for folks being misled at all and as I keep mentioning it's not in the Cov General forum but in Other Sports, it's not my problem that some folks choose newest post!

I meant, the whole point of a forum is freedom of speech and if people get led to read it, what is the harm? your reputation or something? ha!
