TL;DR at the bottom.

On the Brave Frontier wiki (a mobile game), almost every comment section is overrun with ads for referrals, and some people even go so far as to vandalise pages with it. And, I was looking for an example, but it almost seems like most of it has been deleted already.

Those comments about "metal gods" are the ones I'm talking about. Other than on the occasional blog post, there are no constructive comments to be found on the wiki, just metal god spam.

A lot of comment section are linked through facebook instead of wikia, like the one in the picture.

I assume that could be changed easily, but if we did that, I see it as a double edged sword. One, it would invite anonymous people to spam, but at the same time, it would be manageable.

Long story short, there's spam, comments are done through facebook, if we changed to wikia, there would be more spam, having a bot that's able to clean up spam comments would be great.
