Hi @Farsad,

What's the deal ?

I have full proof business plan for this idea. We have started working on it.

Please let me know your concerns.

That's awesome!
I can implement it if it's not existed by the time we are speaking. (i don't have enough energy to search the web)
Do you have any other special idea to make it more interesting, i don't know maybe something like automatically estimate required time before posting a comment.

Many readers just comment to build some backlinks and they do spam comments. Even they use many automated commenting tools. They just copy and paste generic comments in various posts on different websites. However we have various tools to stop spam comments like human verification, captcha, etc. But, including this another feature i.e., time spent on reading specific content/article will set another milestone to make web spam free, engaging along with establishing wordpress as highly productive CMS.

Blog/Website admin should have flexibility (Before publishing any article) to set expected threshold time to read specific article based on its length. It'll determine to find out genuine blog reader, it will give lagging to many automated commenting tools, will trigger Google to implement bounce rate algorithm, it will make WordPress more and more famous among various CMSs, also it will help to trust particular reader or commentator based on time spent to read article and then posting quality comments.

Implementing time spent on particular content with WP-COMMENT feature will be revolutionary, especially among bloggers. It will even excite Google to make changes in their algorithm.

Think upon it!

Turn On Social on "A ui switch that REALLY turns comments off"

No brainer, have installed https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-comments/ over 100 times. WP is now a CMS, comments should be easily disabled site wide.

Just turning of commenting in WordPress settings won't help as the basic commenting functionally of WordPress is always enabled and globally accessible.

I configured my web server so that only legitimate users can comment:

I didn't get a spam comment in years which makes me very happy.

Still looking for a solution to an age old problem. Who want's the last page not to be completely filled when there are paged comments and sorted by newest anyway?

I don't even care if Wordpress has to update the comment permalinks and that they don't fall on the same comment page as when sorted by older.

coralbrief on "A "hold until later" section for comments"

Sometimes I receive a comment that is in my pending section that I want to hold for a later time. Sometimes I want to reply to it before posting; sometimes I want to get clarification from the person who sent the comment before I approve it; sometimes, because of the nature of my blog, I think the person might want to be anonymous but they posted with their name and I'd like to get confirmation that it's OK to use the name; sometimes, it is clearly a private message and I want to save it but not post it. I'd like to move that kind of comment out of my "pending" section (so that I don't accidentally approve it). I don't want to put it in "trash" since that will purge in 30 days. And it doesn't belong in "spam". I would like an additional choice: "hold until later" or something like that.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-comments/ would solve your particular issue I believe

Hello and thank you, but it's weird that there is still no option in WP to bulk disable comments on already uploaded attachments.

Yes I can confirm that. You can disable comments on images in a plugin or theme.
