If you want, you could also disable comments and then use talk pages, which can be protected so that only registered users can edit them. That would be tedious though, and blocking the users would probably be less work. Protecting all the talk pages is a lot of work. If the wiki has a long history of vandalism/spam Wikia staff will protect it normally. Blocking all the bad users is not always the best option; it's much work and not a nice thing to do.
