We never censor comments based on the team you support or your point of view. We only delete those comments that are abusive, wildly off-topic, use excessive foul language, or include ad hominem attacks. We also pre-moderate comments on this blog for unregistered users.

The AVFC Blog also takes no responsibility for what it's registered user post. If you would like something removed please contact us with details of the comment and the page URL it can be found on and we will review the post.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I posted a comment. Why can't I see it on the site?
A: The volume of comments on the site has grown rapidly, and sometimes we can have trouble approving the comments fast enough. To address this problem, if you register you can post comments without having them moderated.

Q: Why am I blocked from commenting?
A: There are a few scenarios in which a comment might be blocked:

1. A comment is abusive, off-topic, uses excessive foul language, or includes an ad hominem attack
2. If a commenter has previously posted comments that are abusive, off-topic, used excessive foul language, or include ad hominem attacks, an AVFC Blog post moderator may decide to ban the commenter's IP address. This means the abusive commenter is banned from commenting on the site in the future, even if the later comments are not abusive. We ban IPs because the sheer volume of comments makes it too time consuming to individually delete comments written by someone with a pattern of abuse.
3. If a commenter shares a computer or IP address with someone who has written abusive comments, it could result in a comment being blocked even if the commenter has never posted anything abusive. If you are a registered user that will help mitigate this sort of situation.
4. We may have banned you. If you're going to abuse the author or other users there are no second chances. Keep posts on topic otherwise you'll get banned.

Q: Can I include HTML in my comments?
A: We remove all html from comments to preserve formatting consistency.

Q: If you don't allow any HTML, how can I include a link in my comment?
A: You have the option to create links, putting text in bold or italic within the comment form

Q: How can I include a paragraph break in my comment?
A: Empty lines in the body of your comment will be converted to paragraph breaks.

Some Tips

1. Please don't use CAPITALS. It is much easier for people to read in lover case and for some it's considered shouting.
2. Please don't use text speak. Nobody really likes reading it and it is very difficult to understand.
