As I suggested earlier, add it in the Plone bug tracker, and we'll find a
way to solve it. :)

In my example, I want to hide the discussion system from ALL users.
I don't want the default/enable/disable options to be offered in edit
forms,
and don't want the "Add comment" option in views.
It sounds like the current permissions control 2 things:
1. "Allow discussion?" stores the discussion setting chosen by the
creator
of the item, and this controls *whether* the item will offer the "Add
comment" option to users.
2. "Reply to" permission controls *which* users will be offered the "Add
comment" option.
I think it would be good to have a permission to control discussion at a
higher level - when False, the edit forms should not even offer the
"Allow
discussion" options, and the views should not offer the "Add comment"
option. A good name for this permission would have been "Allow
discussion?",
but of course that is already in use.
Overall it could have looked like this:
"Allow discussion": controls whether edit forms offer discussion settings
(default/enable/disable) to users with "Configure discussion"
permissions.
"Configure discussion": only applicable when ("Allow discussion"==True).
Controls whether edit forms offer discussion options
[default/enable/disable].
"Reply to": only applicable when ("Configure discussion"==True and "Allow
discussion"==True). Behaviour as current.
I may have massively over simplified the ideas above, and misinterpreted
the
way permissions work, but I do still think there needs to be a better
way to
remove the discussion settings from edit forms - at the moment there does
not appear to be a way to do that.
Thanks,
Ben

No, that's not the point here. Removing the 'Relpy' button
can be achived by changing the 'Reply to item' permission.
What's left is the 'allow discussion' field on the edit form
which then becomes pretty useless.
Yup. Can either of you log it as a bug at http://dev.plone.org/plone -
and we'll see if we can fix Plone to check for the setting when
deciding
to show the field?
It's not exactly trivial as replying to an item is
one thing and to change whether discussion of this
item should be allowed or not is another.
If we could live with controlling the fields visibility
by checking for the reply permission on the current user,
however, this would be straight-forward (and solve the
original problem that triggered this thread).
Opinions anyone?
