 * Hello,
 * I would need to ban a specific user role (ex: ROLE1) from commenting but still
   let him see all existing comments on a blog post. How can I do that with a PHP
   script ?

 * I already have the first part of the php script :
 * if (current_user_can( ‘role1’) && has_category( ‘abc))
    ) { if ( ( comments_open()
   || get_comments_number() ) && ‘on’ == et_get_option( ‘divi_show_postcomments’,‘
   on’ ) ) { comments_template( ”, true ); } }
 * The second and missing part is
    ELSE I would like to show the existing comments
   for the current post but not the comment form to add a new comment.
 * Any help appreciated, thanks in advance
