You mean like digging and burying? Don't you think that would be overkill? Sites like digg or slashdot get 99% of their traffic from comments. Here on Wikia that's a fringe activity. There are probably lots of active contributors who have never commented on anything and never will. It's just not a core mechanism of a wiki. Besides: It's much less anonymous here. People who behave unruly have their own message wall and can - and will be - contacted by those who feel offended by their behaviour. There are exceptions of course but by and large it seems to work nicely.
