1 In the past we were discussing two weeks, which I absolutely think would be a good idea. I might be agreeable to one week, though this could require a little thought.

But could we implement the two week rule right away and see if it helps?

2 I agree. I wouldn't mind closing commments older than two weeks. I don't know about 1 week since I sometimes have legit comments after that period. But two weeks, that would work for me.

3 I've deleted over a thousand spams from munu in the past two days.

Y'know, I think this might be a good idea.

6 Pixy;

Please rename the comments script?! It's such a quick, simple first step with no negative ramifications and the potential to make an instant difference.

As far as closing comments after a period of time, by far the most elegant solution I've been able to find is Mt-Close2

It allows per blog settings so individuals can select what interval works best for them, allows closing of trackbacks as well as comments, gives a great deal of control over which posts are closed, has built-in capability for re-opening comments, and allows for the use of automatically inserted text to inform the reader that comments have been closed, and how to use an alternative method if they still wish to comment.

Given the variety of users at muNu, I really think a solution which allows for individual choice of settings would be very beneficial.

I've been in touch with the author, and he indicates it will work with MuNu's multiblog setup, and with our mySql backend.

Whatever solution is implemented, it must include some way of making clear to commenters that the comments have been closed before they begin writing their comment. I've come across a number of situations where I've written the whole comment & posted it, only to then finally get an error saying comments have been closed. Not satisfactory.

7 Paul, I'm happy to rename the comments script, but it does require everyone to rebuild their blog for it to take effect.

So what I've done is made a copy under a new name, and once everyone has rebuilt, I can remove the old one. I'll start with Munuviana and Ambient Irony so I can gauge the effectiveness.

8 Test of new comments script...

9 Well, at least it works

10 One big problem with MT-Close2: It gives everyone access to every blog. Only to close/open comments, but still...

11 Well crap. I knew there was bound to be fly in that ointment somewhere.

** Cranium smokin' to try to come up with a workaround.**
