Delete reddit comments on mass/bulk with javascript and Reddit Enhancement Suite

// PLEASE NOTE: this assumes that you have Reddit Enhancement Suite installed and you're on https://old.reddit.com/user/{yourUserName}/comments/

// This script will first grab all visible comments on the page, and then start deleting them.
// Eventually, once the list is exhausted, it will execute a scroll to event which will 
// open up a new page of comments, and the deleteComments sequence will re-run.
// It also checks if the function has stopped running for any reason, and will attempt to re-run it.
