Basically there was so much shit happening over at NFL.com that we had to move somewhere else. We had to deal with the forums being shut down(twice I think) because of a spam bot flooding the forums to intimidate the mods there. Then the Gamecenters went to facebook and this was set up as a precautionary measure in case the forums went to facebook as well. Turns out once most of us starting posting here now, the trolls started infesting NFL.com. Not to mention this is easily more user friendly then NFL.com. Also, we don't have to worry about random anonymous trolls here. We(or rather Panther) controls who joins and who doesn't.

Also, it brings back the possibility of private messages, which were taken down due to a fight between two users via multiple accounts and across the one person's friends list. The person's personal information was leaked and this was what was being tossed around everywhere. To avoid any major issues, NFL.com found it was in the best interest to shut down the Shout-outs.
The simple answer was to only allow friends comments, but when the person did that, they then started attacking her through her friends, and after they got an account banned, they just made another and kept going.
The war rooms are next. The Packers War room has been warned numerous times for the same type of issue, it got to the point that they started throwing their hands up and said if it continues, they will take down the war rooms. The real solution is for NFL.com to find another set of tools to prevent people from walking around bans, but to do that, they would need to take down the site, totally move all the information and coding over to the new coding and essentially start from scratch. Adding the Facebook moderator tool was the easiest and most feasible way.
