<p class="MsoNormal">I am running a college newspaper site and have several user
roles established including ones for Section Editors and Copy Editors.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to restrict the Section Editors and Copy Editors
roles from posting comments on that site. I can find no way to do this, since
these users are also a member of Authenticated Users which includes a broader
base of users who should have the ability of posting comments…other than
creating a new role for regular users (which I am unsure how to make this the
default role for new users), is there a way to restrict the Section Editors and
Copy Editors from posting comments?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks!</p>
