kind of defeats the purpose of the wiki in general if we have to protect everything, not to mention there has been, without fail, problems with pretty much every page people care to comment on.

Again, I see no reason why we can't just use talk pages. Wikipedia still uses them, and they actually enforce the rule that talk pages are for discussing of editing the page only, anything else should go to the forum.
