 * When I hide the comment enabling and disabling controls from “authors”, it turns
   off comments on posts by “authors” even though the default is to allow comments.
   I know this was raised two years ago, but my site is not a multisite.

 * Hi Fodden, thanks for the feedback – however unfortunately this plugin works 
   in such a way that it either shows or hides the comment controls for all users
   of a certain role, regardless of if comments are enabled or not.
 * It’s designed this way to accommodate easy ‘global’ options – unfortunately there
   are no plans to deal with more complex circumstances, for instance allowing some
   posts to have their controls enabled, and other posts to have their controls 
   disabled – it could get fairly complex to deal with and could create issues from
   an admin options point of view.
 * I’m marking this as closed – but if I’ve not addressed your query properly please
   feel free to leave another comment and I’ll do my best to answer it!
