I suggest we take the same approach Surrender at 20 did with their page. While making it a requirement for everyone to have a wikia account might be too aggressive, one could reason about allowing anonymous users to post using their Google or Facebook accounts directly. Comments made by wikia users would receive some kind of bonus, like a particular background or highlight, so that people would still have an incentive to make a wikia account, be it only to comment. Kind of like what S@20 did with disquis. Admin comments are highlighted there. Their system does not prevent all spam, but considering that a great number of spammers do not want to take the time to even give any information about themselves, it reduces it quite a bit.
