Good points, and I hope people will follow them. I'll definitely keep this in mind from now on when looking at the talk pages/comments. These pages should be more serious places to discuss the articles, and more people need to know this and, if possible, get alerts about the talk pages.

A poll on the front page might help voice your opinions and consensuses, but those things don't nearly get enough traffic as the actual pages, in addition to being fairly inconvenient.

In any case, I assume the problem is that people treat the "Comments" moniker as the thing on YouTube, and with Google+ the connotation is worse than ever.
