User blog comment:NeonSpotlight/Where did comments go?/@comment-5266525-20120807140532

Personally I'd like to have it back.

I don't feel as though we should stick to some rigid regime for a wiki. The basic principle of it is there - the information is provided and in-depth analysis' of the things in the game are covered. The comments don't necessarily contribute to that, but neither are they particularly obtrusive as they're confined to the bottom of the page. Plus, LoL is a really varied game. If we limit what the wiki contains exclusively to facts and figures, there isn't really a lot of reason to come here. The comments section proved incredibly useful to me just trying out the strategies and tactics people post there, a role their dedicated pages often can't fulfil.

Also, getting rid of the comments is a bit of an extreme solution to the workloads of the mods on the wiki, isn't it? You could try an approach similar to the Tribunal and let the community judge the content it posts. The people around here tend to be a little smarter and nicer than the people of the LoL official forums.

It also seems kind of arbitrary. If you don't want people to chat with each other on the pages, why is the live chat still here? That's pretty much as big a socializing agent as the comments section, if not more so.
