You can use knowledge base articles feedback to improve communication with the customers. When used in combination with likes and dislikes, feedback can show you the weak points of your knowledge base that prevent it from performing better. Also, feedback is different from using comments: it does not appear on the article page, so there is (almost) no value in using it for spammers.
