This may sound quite odd, but on this Wiki, there are multiple users who's edits are predominately comments on articles. I don't want to sound harsh, but these comments are getting annoying. 80% of them are just quotes from the actual episode. They're spam, they're pointless, and they're clogging up the recent activities. I'm not saying we should block users who just comment, but can we add/enforce a rule about comments? This is an Encyclopedia, not a place where people can just go commenting pointless comments willy-nilly. What I am proposing is to enforce a rule where comments have to be relevant to the article; errors within the article, things that might need changing, etc. On episode pages maybe a short "I really enjoyed this episode" or something. Because there are so many comments being made that are just pure spam, most of them being episode quotes full of capital letters and exclamation marks. This does sound very strict and harsh, but really, the quality of comments is dropping, and the frequency of them is rising.

- Template:Weak Oppose Honestly I think disabling comments agan would really cause more harm than good. The biggest reason, it would provoke drama. People would get angry and start making a big deal over it. Best not poke the beehive.
