Not really related to this thread in particular but one improvement that would be nice would be if the "please stop responding to this discussion" comment wasn't at the bottom of the discussion but right at the top of the comment thread you want people to stop responding to.

Agreed. Oh - and another one, please can we have all articles over - say - three months old automatically go into moderated status. It doesn't happen often, but if new comments are added to old articles, it's often very tempting click-bait. I sometimes respond without realising the article is several years old.

Fine if responses are relevant, but "me too" to an old article is not good. Hence preferring moderated rather than closed comments.

Cheers,
