Commenting: Talk pages: tl;dr we're not going to remove comments again
 * Spammy, but that's what mods are for.
 * Disabling comments would alienate a large portion of the community, and has been tested twice before to severe backlash.
 * They have some redeeming value
 * We almost never use these on the wiki. If you want something done, go to chat/make a forum topic/leave a message on a mod+'s wall/talk.
 * When comments were disabled, I didn't once click on the talk page, and I don't think anyone else did. Discussion of the actual page gets done elsewhere, or occasionally when somebody leaves a helpful constructive comment.

Admins changing something
 * You don't understand that admins don't actually build the infrastructure of the wiki. The infrastructure of the wiki is provided by wikia, and we can only modify with little things like changing the messages shown, formatting, etc.
 * Perhaps we could remove the "make a discussion" button from the bottom of pages. Not sure how though.
