You seem the have forgotten the outrage the time comments are removed, twice. I have not, and addressed that earlier in this discussion.

Let's just be honest - no-one reads the manuals and terms of usage. Is requiring mods to personally message every user who misuses talk pages actually a better use of their time than hiding spam comments? (There's also an issue with conflicting edits...) The alternative is requiring mods to personally message/warn/block every user who posts spam in comments. You greatly underestimate how much comment-traffic this wiki gets.

Interceptor, most of the users who use this site are not editors. With that said, I do not see why people who are not editing the wiki should have a say in how the wiki is run. And if you think comment moderation is fine, you just have very low standards on what you consider spam. We have a total of about 5 moderators who patrol commentspaces when they are free. There are thousands of comments posted a day.
