You could use a combination of permissions for members etc. but I wanted to remove the notion that there was an option to comment and or note the fact.

So this may help. I used it to hide the fact there is any option to comment or offer feedback

in posts.main.php, page.main.php and single.main.php

Example: in single.main (version $Id: single.main.php,v 1.7 2007/11/24 21:31:22 fplanque Exp $)

Basically I put a condition around the feedback block

before skin_include( '_item_feedback.inc.php', array

 if(isset($current_User) and ($current_User->level)>1){
		skin_include( '_item_feedback.inc.php', array

and I put a banner informing users of this when not logged in
After <div id="content" class="column">

<?php 
   if(!isset($current_User) )
    {
   echo ('<div class="page_action">Only logged in users can see comments to posts')</div>');
    }
 ?>
