It happens on a day to day basis,

it is one of the most annoying things that anons can do,

it clogs up Wiki Activity and wastes user time.

I am of course - talking about when contributors and in very rare cases, users, 'resurrect' old battles by commenting on them. While my proposition is only minor, I feel as though it is something we do need to bring to the table and discuss.

The penalty for commenting on old blog battles is not light, and 'resurrecting' them into the Wiki Activity section is punishable by a three day ban, but let me ask you something.. has that ever really stopped them? While the punishment is effective and clear, anons still go for it and they will continue to do so undoubtedly, but what if we could change that?

All I'm proposing at it's core element here is that we either ensure or encourage users to disable commenting on their blogs. If they are going to announce the blog is over in their comments, surely they have the time too make an edit that doesn't show up on Wiki Activity.

I think we need to share ideas and opinions on this. My idea is that we just ensure or make it a rule than users disable commenting on their blogs after the blog is closed, and if this idea here is perused, we can publish an official blog or forum post for everyone to see so they know how to do so if they didn't before. Disabling the comments does not show in Wiki Activity so disabling all your own would not to do and current ones would not do so either.

Thoughts? Opinions?
