Comments are getting out of control, and with Mark reformatting our current policies, now is a good time for us to address implementing policies for article comments. Besides removing commentary all-together (which might eventually happen if we continue to have issues with people abusing it), I want to brain-storm ideas for policies and see if there's community/administrator consensus on what policies to implement:


 * Photos are not allowed to be added to comments. What I've noticed is that people will post a single image with two or three words as a caption. I consider this to be spam, because it doesn't contribute much to any discussion of the article.
 * Offsite links irrelevant to the topic are prohibited. (this would include mentioning offsite pages, like "GO TO THIS WEBSITE OF A REINCARNATION OF THE OLD ROBLOX!").
 * Comments should be in English only. We're an English wiki, and though we encourage international users to participate in the wiki, moderating foreign languages can be difficult (Google Translate has a lot of inaccuracies).
 * Comments should be relevant to the page topic and should facilitate discussion. This should be common sense, but a lot of people are leaving irrelevant comments. Posting "lol" to someone's comment would not be allowed in this case, because it doesn't promote additional discussion.
