Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Puts a "nuke" icon next to comment authors name for every comment in subreddits you mod. Clicking this removes that comment, and all child comments of that comment.

Designed to ease deleting off-topic flaming argument threads of heavily moderated subreddits.

Kudos to amoliski for the icon: http://www.reddit.com/r/modclub/comments/13amg8/one_of_the_raskscience_secret_weapons_is/c72tq0t

Updates: No longer jQuery-based (now straight JavaScript).

Adds icon next to user deleted comments (so you can delete the children if you want from the source).

Also expands "load more comments" when present in the nuked thread and after ~4s wait will start deleting everything. (Doesn't do nested "load more comments" and doesn't do "continue this thread -->" which on click goes to new window; rather than add to the current page).

20 Feb 2013 - Updated after addition of "Ignore Reports" button, so this button is no longer triggered.

25 Aug 2014 - Actually works with the changes to reddit!
