  It would be good to have a setting that allows you to automatically close off comments after a set period – say one month after posting. I do this manually, but often forget and I’m worried I may miss older ones.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It’s built in here for WordPress.COM blogs –

  Dashboard >> Settings >> Discussion >> Close Comments after XX days

  Looks like the supportbot missed the domain mapping on your blog

  Is there a way to fix the support bot domain mapping?

  The supportbot should not matter much – if you post here for help much you might put a note in your Post that your domain name is mapped to a blog here – usually if the supportbot misses or a person puts the wrong URL in – the OP will come back with a “I really am here at WordPress.COM”
