FCD Official Blog Closed to Posters
In what’s looking more and more like a putsch, the good folks at the Official FCD Blog have stopped accepting comments.
We apologize that we had to stop accepting comments for the time being. We feel that we have been fair in providing fans a forum to express their opinions over the past couple of days - especially on the team blog.
Why, you ask? Well, read on:
That being said, there are other online forums that may accept comments that have foul language, inappropriate images, personal attacks, or copy pasting the same phrase and / or words over 100 times [Ed. note: pa-re-ja?] in over 15 comments.
Well, welcome to the Internet, guys. We get most of those things (and are proud of it) in a typically brilliant MMP.
I’m just concerned: if you’re interested in building pride and passion in a team (and a sport that attracts about as much attention from your average American as, say, curling), why not allow fans to rant and rave?
Better yet, why not police the few inappropriate posters and let the rest of us feel like we have an actual community to be a part of?

This is all my fault for calling Bill Parcells an asshole.
Not really.
Maybe they don’t feel they have the resources to police comments? Yet using an RSS reader for comments should turn that into a very simple one-man job.

Actually, looks like it was just that one post. I remember seeing the ability to post a comment a couple hours after they made the post about disallowing comments.
Newest post has 14 comments currently.
And for the record:
foul language - I curse like a fuckin’ sailor
inappropriate images - Yeah, that is basically all I do
personal attacks - Kenny Cutler’s Dirty Sanchez fall under this category?
copy pasting the same phrase - Not yet, but something I should probably work in
