It's an orthogonal issue. I would like the official site to be vaguely readable on mobile. Whether they then choose to discourage posting from mobile is a different question.
(My personal view is that 'mobile' is very difficult to define. If I connect a bluetooth keyboard to a Galaxy Note then why the hell should I be discouraged from posting on the grounds I might post lower quality comments?)
Even on my 7-inch tablet, mobile sites are mostly just a pain in the neck. I'll almost always prefer to be served the desktop version served to me (exceptions for sites that expect me to hover my mouse over their content.) In my view mobile sites should mostly be "small display" sites, and they should be served to desktop people with small browser windows, too.
Worst of all are sites that don't provide a "Full site" link, and don't cooperate with my browser's "View desktop site" option. And don't get me started on "Try our mobile app"...
