Title:
Separate crosspost footer for when comments are disabled on Dreamwidth.

Area:
crossposting, entries

Summary:
Add a separate crosspost footer for when comments on Dreamwidth are disabled.

Description:
Sometimes you just want to turn off all comments, no matter where you're posting.

Currently, when comments are disabled on Dreamwidth, the "comments disabled locally" footer is used. This footer is also used when comments are disabled on the crossposted-elsewhere entry but turned on at the Dreamwidth entry. This increases the chances that people will have put text explicitly inviting people to go over to Dreamwidth to comment.

If comments on Dreamwidth are disabled, it makes no sense to invite a person viewing your entry on a remote site to come to Dreamwidth and leave a comment.

It is one more setting to potentially confuse people, but the alternative involves confusing and annoying a more broad range of people on other sites with every cross-posted entry that invites people to comment but it turns out not to be possible.
