Title:
Select All Comments, Add Freeze/Unfreeze Option to Drop-Down Box

Area:
Entries and Comments

Summary:
Include a "select all comments" button/feature near the drop-down box for screening, unscreening, deleting, and reporting comments as spam. Include the option to freeze/unfreeze multiple comments in the drop-down box, in addition to single comment freezing.

Description:
1. Users would be aided by the ability to select all comments on an entry for deletion, screening, unscreening, or reporting as spam. This feature could involve a single-click box by the drop-down box, to allow mass-handling of all entry comments. (In some cases, particularly entries generating a large number of comments and with multiple bouts of collapsed comments, selecting each comment individually to screen or unscreen can be a hassle.) It would be wise to include a verification page (or pop-up) for this feature for cases of deleting/reporting as spam/etc. so that users do not unintentionally delete all comments.

2. In light of the above, it would also be helpful to include the option to freeze/unfreeze multiple comments at one time, in addition to the AJAXing/allowing the user to select each comment individually. Adding the option to freeze/unfreeze to the drop-down box would solve this issue.
