Unsubscribe from multiple notifications

Title:
Unsubscribe from multiple notifications

Area:
Manage Inbox

Summary:
Allow a user to delete multiple discussion tracking notifications at one time.

Description:
It's very easy when there's a wide ranging, very interesting conversation to subscribe to many, many entries or comment threads simultaneously. However, once the conversation dies down, deleting the subscriptions is a real pain, because it has to be done for each subscription individually.

This is sort of a pain for free users, who will run up against their subscription limit fairly quickly, as well as a pain for paid users, because once they have reached their subscription limit, they'll have hundreds of subscriptions they would like to delete, and have to act on them one by one.

I'm not sure how this should be implemented, although we might consider getting rid of the option to unsubscribe from a subscription while having it stay saved. I'm not sure I understand the point of that anyway. In any case, the biggest drawback to this proposal is implementing it in a way that makes usability sense.
