I have used their fanzone for 5 years and finaly gave up. Let me
give you a brief history of Manchester United fanzone. Back in
2003, the fanzone was flooded by Muppets who blasted the manager
for not hiring big signings and whenever the club drew 1-1 or lost
a game, the muppets would go in force and start lambasting our
beloved SAF and the club. The club lacked full time moderators. It
was going out of control. Many long time contributers left.
Then as recent as 2009, the club started bringing back some
moderation by introducing some long time forumers as moderators. At
first they sounded nice people. However, it was not long, they
started purging anyone that they deemed as muppets or glory
hunters. I was picked on and regularly abused because of my Asian
background. Further the fanzone forums were unfriendly. I
complained about the regular abuse I receive but no action was
taken because some of the abusers were friends of the moderators.
Some of the abuse were racially motivated but the abusers were
clever not to say any racial abuse or risk being deleted. Then the
abusers started to attack the moderators and the moderators removed
them. Problems started when a long time contributor was wrongly
accused of something and his account was removed. That person got
so angry that he created a lot of accounts and started spamming the
whole spam zone. The moderators have limited power and feeling
frustrated that the fanzone went out of control, they started
quiting one by one.
Then everything is back to chaos. However, I would never go back
there because if I try to say anything constructive like even a
slight comment on the beloved rooney or anyone else, I would be
slated, accused of being a scouser fan and receive abuse. Of
course I support the club, manager and players but the forum should
allow some room for constructive comments. I got so frustrated, I
finally left the forum.
