User blog comment:Dim1/Comments are going away/@comment-4830337-20121028225535

As the person who recently brought this issue up, I would like to state why I brought this up.

I would like to see the article comments disabled, because it make things easier for AWCs and trolls and spammers to spam the article comments, take up a lot of the Recent Changes and Wiki Activity and serves no point but communicating.

I see no point in having the feature. Keeping the feature would have a negative effect on the wiki. It make things so much easier for AWCs, spammers and trolls to spam and troll, which we most definitely do not want to. Plus it take up quite a lot of the Recent Changes, which is also negative, for editors who need to see actual edits, and not gibberish. It's quite annoying to do so.

The feature also serves no excellent point other than communicating, and the talk pages are there for that. However, unlike the talk pages, it is much easier to be abused, and only admins can delete or edit the comments. In talks, regular editors can freely delete pointless messages. Because of these, I believe that the article comments should be disabled, and the talk pages should replace the article comments.

Well, this is of course, my opinions. Sorry if this is too long, but thanks for reading this.
