When disabling comments for a content type, the comments feature should give you an option to not show options on existing content of the same content type. For example, I create a 100 blogs with comments enabled, I later decide not to show comments on my 100 blog articles. Right now, if I disable the comments they won't show up on future blog posts but they will still show up on existing blog posts and I have to go through one by one and disable the comments. Not good.
I don't know the reason for leaving comments enable when you've diabled them for the that content type, but assuming there's a good reason for this, there should be an option to remove comments for all existing content of that cotent type.

swentel commentedThat's not related with this module :) You could move this to the Drupal Core queue of the comment module however.

CinemaSaville commentedCount me in on this. Just imported a huge site from WP, and need to disable commenting on those nodes individually now.

smustgrave commentedThank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.
We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.
Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.
Thanks!
