One week of discussion is long enough. I'll give people one more day to raise any major objections (since the poll seems to imply positive support from most users) before I close the thread.

Putting restrictions on it is c ounterintuitive--if we are that serious about the comments, why doesn't the wikia make it a talk page already? Wikia doesn't need a talk page, nor does it need restraints on the comments besides offensive content.

 Because we know from experience that the kind of non-editing community that latched onto this wiki after comments were enabled by ajr will just whine for days and days. And eventually, a crat will revert us back to comments whilst someone will be chosen as a scapegoat to demonize.

@JAlbor - Current plan is for another announcement immediately after we close this thread.
