Disabling comments on your answers on Quora can be a useful feature for various reasons, from maintaining the integrity of your responses to managing unwanted interactions.

Why Do You Want to Disable Comments?

There are several valid reasons for disabling comments on your answers:

To maintain the integrity of your answers and prevent them from being altered or misinterpreted. To avoid distractions or unhelpful discussions that do not contribute to the conversation. To protect yourself from irrelevant or inappropriate comments. To save your time and energy by not having to respond to comments. To ensure that your answers remain focused and relevant to the question posed.

Disabling Comments on Individual Answers

To disable comments on a single answer, follow these steps:

Click on the '...' icon underneath the answer to open a dropdown menu. Select the 'Disable Comments' option from the dropdown menu. After disabling comments, the answer will display the label 'Adding Comments Disabled' and will no longer have a comment text field.
