Use sensible defaults to prevent accidental closing of comments before admin has chance to set up module

Would it not be better to have the fresh install defaults set up so that nothing is changed? It seems that the issue many have is the module installs with defaults that are not wanted by every user.

If you want to keep the defaults, then a checkbox to enable the module is a feature I see with other modules, for example, Boost.

I created a quick module to do this on my sites, and by default, it won't disable any comments until you tell the module which for which node types you'd like to disable comments. This way it's a bit of a safer default.

It's pretty simple, but it gets the job done for my needs.

Considering how long this issue has been open (I understand not having time to work on your module), defaulting to "don't close any comments" is an easier and better option.

A "activate" button would be confusing from a UX perspective. Also, you'd have to track whether that button has ever been pressed; a DX annoyance.

Here you go, Robert. It allows "Never" to be a cycle time, and is the default.

Updating title... hard to understand based on the title, still :-/

Works for me.

Have you tested the patch?
