 - nissuer can hide "+1", "same issue", etc. comments on issues (partially based on [Refined GitHub](https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github/blob/c864a20b57bb433aaf3952f88d83c9fc481ae6ff/source/helpers/is-low-quality-comment.ts#L2-L3)). It won't hide comments from the repo organization members.
 - nissuer can also update the hidden comment with a note from the maintainers, explaining to the user why the comment was hidden. This is used for education purposes, so hopefully the user will be more considerate in the future.
+- nissuer can skip the "marking as off-topic and hidden" if certain a label(s) are present on the issue.
