Comment Nuke adds a “nuke” button next to each comment. Clicking it removes or locks every reply in that comment’s chain in one action, without requiring you to act on each comment individually. The action type (remove or lock) is selectable before confirming.
Distinguished comments from moderators and admins are skipped by default.
