User blog comment:NeonSpotlight/LoL Wiki - Where to improve?/@comment-1445357-20120730194646

As if you don't already hear this enough from me, but I think comments are creating problems that have been ignored for quite a while. However, I do acknowledge that there's no way I can convince you to disable them, I will expand on what problems I have found that can be solved by alternate means.

1. They flood Special:RecentChanges and Special:WikiActivity. You and I both know there is no other way to solve this problem other than people to filter them out manually in Special:RecentChanges.

Very well then. I'm also sure that people who do actively scout for vandalism and patrol articles for quality edits are doing this. However, this leads into a second problem:

2. Comments themselves are not monitored because people are filtering them out in Recent Changes. You need to get some of your Moderators to dedicate themselves to monitoring comments, leaving mainspaces to other Mods and Rollbacks to sort out.

Implementing this would help clean up the image of the wiki, where now people go to a page, and when they scroll down, they don't see things such as spambots or namecalling.

Speaking of which, please ask your Moderators and Administrators to be a bit harsher with vandals. Clearly seen here are moderators handing out warnings to vandals who clearly have no intention of making proper edits. Good faith can only extend so far before you have accept that they are not going to be contributors.
