Selecting category for JomSocial Article Comments is great option, but if parent category is selected comments wont be shown in child categories.

I have created an 'ugly' solution but it works. Insert after line 23

$categoryIds =  $this->params->get('category',0);

in ...\plugins\content\articlecomments\articlecomments.php:

foreach ($categoryIds as $categoryId) {
			if (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($categoryId)->getChildren()){
				foreach (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($categoryId)->getChildren() as $childrencategory1)
				{
					if (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory1->id)->getChildren()){
						foreach (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory1->id)->getChildren() as $childrencategory2)
						{
							if (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory2->id)->getChildren()){
								foreach (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory2->id)->getChildren() as $childrencategory3)
								{
									if (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory3->id)->getChildren()){
										foreach (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory3->id)->getChildren() as $childrencategory4)
										{
											if (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory4->id)->getChildren()){
												foreach (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory4->id)->getChildren() as $childrencategory5)
												{
													if (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory5->id)->getChildren()){
														foreach (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory5->id)->getChildren() as $childrencategory6)
														{
															if (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory6->id)->getChildren()){

															}
															else {
																if (!in_array($childrencategory6->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory6->id;}
															}
														}
													}
													else {
														if (!in_array($childrencategory5->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory5->id;}
													}
												}
											}
											else {
												if (!in_array($childrencategory4->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory4->id;}
											}
										}
									}
									else {
										if (!in_array($childrencategory3->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory3->id;}
									}
								}
							}
							else {
								if (!in_array($childrencategory2->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory2->id;}
							}
						}
					}
					else {
						if (!in_array($childrencategory1->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory1->id;}
					}
				}
			}
		}

This will add all categories in selected category that have no child categories.
To add all subcategories from selected category you will need to insert this:

foreach ($categoryIds as $categoryId) {
			if (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($categoryId)->getChildren()){
				foreach (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($categoryId)->getChildren() as $childrencategory1)
				{
					if (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory1->id)->getChildren()){
						if (!in_array($childrencategory1->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory1->id;}
						foreach (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory1->id)->getChildren() as $childrencategory2)
						{
							if (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory2->id)->getChildren()){
								if (!in_array($childrencategory2->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory2->id;}
								foreach (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory2->id)->getChildren() as $childrencategory3)
								{
									if (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory3->id)->getChildren()){
										if (!in_array($childrencategory3->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory3->id;}
										foreach (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory3->id)->getChildren() as $childrencategory4)
										{
											if (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory4->id)->getChildren()){
												if (!in_array($childrencategory4->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory4->id;}
												foreach (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory4->id)->getChildren() as $childrencategory5)
												{
													if (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory5->id)->getChildren()){
														if (!in_array($childrencategory5->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory5->id;}
														foreach (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory5->id)->getChildren() as $childrencategory6)
														{
															if (JCategories::getInstance('content')->get($childrencategory6->id)->getChildren()){
																if (!in_array($childrencategory6->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory6->id;}
															}
															else {
																if (!in_array($childrencategory6->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory6->id;}
															}
														}
													}
													else {
														if (!in_array($childrencategory5->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory5->id;}
													}
												}
											}
											else {
												if (!in_array($childrencategory4->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory4->id;}
											}
										}
									}
									else {
										if (!in_array($childrencategory3->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory3->id;}
									}
								}
							}
							else {
								if (!in_array($childrencategory2->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory2->id;}
							}
						}
					}
					else {
						if (!in_array($childrencategory1->id, $categoryIds)){$categoryIds[] = $childrencategory1->id;}
					}
				}
			}
		}
