"Auto" as in it happens automatically, a moderator doesn't need to get involved. "Soft" because it's not actually gone from the database; moderators can still see it if necessary. It's not quite as "soft" as post deletion, because comments can't be undeleted, but the contents are at least recoverable if necessary
