Describe your issue or idea

Give administrators the ability to globally disable comments for a content type. Then content editors do not have the Comment settings vertical tab for that content type.

Steps to reproduce (if reporting a bug)

  • visit /admin/structure/types/manage/TYPE

Actual behavior (if reporting a bug)

  • There is no setting to entirely disable comments.
  • There is just a setting to close comments.

Desired behavior (if reporting a bug)

  • Add a setting to globally disable comments across the content type. Meaning the content editors will not have access to the comment settings to turn them on or off per node.
