A significant number of older entries have had the comments turned off. The existing comments are still archived, but no one can post any new comments. Could someone please explain the reason for this?
I HAD to turn off commenting on a lot of the older stories because spammers and trolls filled them with porn, racist memes, disgusting sexual images/threats directed towards myself and Vaxman, violent threats towards us, and things that could get the site taken down or blacklisted. It took me several days to clean them all up. Many of the stories hadn't been commented on in many months anyways besides the trolls.
It's impossible for us to continue to monitor the comments on 400+ posts.
I've made that same suggestion to the site builders/developers because that would be AMAZING. So far, my suggestion has fallen on deaf ears, sadly. It's really frustrating.
I would appreciate a response from any of this site's administrators. Vaxman, Vaxxylady or HCAMan, if you're reading this, could you please explain why comments are turned off in so many of the stories from more than a few months ago?
Was it done as a means of keeping out trolls? Was it done by mistake? Was it done automatically by the software used in authoring this site? Or were you pressured by some of the anti-vaxxers' family members?
Whatever your reason may be, I promise not to give you a hard time about it. I just would like to know.
Haven't been to QT's site recently. Lol.
You'd need an army of mods to keep up with all the entries if they were open!
Thanks Vaxxman & Vaxxlady - and HCAman. Not nice, dealing with trolls.

I hope that answers your question.
