Readers have been posting stuff about better commenting-systems. I want to keep WordPress because I don’t have time/energy to run a new CMS.
In the comments below put up your suggestions, pros and cons.
I WILL DELETE OFF TOPIC COMMENTS.

Maybe you should try Blogspot?
Disqus?
I’ve heard they pull out of non politically correct stuff so that seems risky.
Ive tried to post before on topic but it doesn’t show up. Have I been banned?
There should be a way to downvote a comment. Also I observed some of the comments suddenly had a huge number of likes. I suspect some sort of manipulation. It would be better if only registered users can comment, upvote and down vote.
It should be easy to ban people if they are here only to bait and troll.
Ensure what commenting system can provide this, but there must be systems out there that do provide this.
Like and dislike.
Better like system.
Recent,oldest,newest comments.
Better comment thread Heirarchy like disqus, twitter etc.
Just import a commenting system. Solid opinion or disqus are the top contenders.

Disqus is fine.
An option to ignore comments from certain users would be great.
Disqus. And it’s very easy to integrate with WordPress
