This is going to be a "feature" of the theme you've selected.  Different
themes do things in different ways.  If you're using the Habari supplied K2
theme, then the simplest way of removing this is to comment out the
following line in the page.single.php:

<?php $theme->display ( 'comments' ); ?>

This will of course remove this from ALL pages.  If you want to only disable
this for pages with comments disabled, you'll need to delve into the
comments.php file.

If you're using another theme, let us know which one and we'll be able to
direct you to the lines of code you need to change or remove for that theme.

Such a function would indeed need a new plugin, for which I don't believe
there is one currently available.  Most of the silo plugins I've seen just
provide a means of storing and managing your media rather than manipulating
them or doing something funky like this.

If you've got the PHP skills, but all means start creating a plugin and
we'll be more than happy to help out on the habari-dev group and even add
the plugin to the list available in habari-extras.

If you don't have the skills, then it might be an idea to add a ticket to
the wishlist at https://trac.habariproject.org/habari-extras and someone may
jump at the opportunity.
