How can I turn off commenting on my questions?

Just block everyone who answered?

I don't want any new comments either.

that's odd.. why do you ask questions and then would want to delete all answers?

are the notifications bothering you?

[Asker]

I want to take a break from gag, but once I leave a bunch of looney tunes will take over my questions. I'll come back and it will be a mess.

[NathanDavis]

delete the question... that is an option

or shut down notifications for it

[Asker]

They won't let me delete anything for a certain amount of time, and the looney tunes will still ruin my hard work whether I get notified or not.

[NathanDavis]

how is that even a thing... lol

even if you block the people that already commented... other people could show up

you would have to block the entire site to prevent new comments

maybe just delete your account

[Asker]

Okay, I'll start blocking everyone, thanks.

There's an option for that when you're formatting your question I think? Not sure how to do when you've already asked the question though

[DubiousIntentions]

What if everyone just blocked you instead? Same outcome.

[Asker]

They could still add more comments to their thread I think?
It only works if I block them on my question.
I know because one time some crazy lady was chirping off on my question and she said "you can"t reply anymore because you've been blocked." I laughed and replied to her that she can't block me on my own question, lol.

Maybe you are just asking lousy questions? Not everyone is going to agree with what you ask or say. You should know that by now.

[DubiousIntentions]

But in response to your original question, just hit "mute" below your question to shut everyone up.

[Asker]

My questions are excellent, but this is a public forum where I need to be here to deal with all the looney tunes who talk shit. If I leave I need a way to shut off commenting on my questions so stupidity can't gain power back here.

What is the point of asking a question and then blocking all answers?

[Imsmurter1]

You can delete, mute, disavow
