I don't think you need to play CSS tricks. Just designate that you don't want to see reaped nodes of both types. These settings appear to currently be on Newest Nodes settings even though I don't believe that either of those settings are specific to Newest Nodes1.

1 I believe it at least used to be that one impacted Newest Nodes (and Recently Active Nodes and perhaps more recently many/most/all of the "section" main pages that list root nodes of a specific type) while the other impacted the display of replies in threads. But I leave sussing out the current details of this to other members of pmdev and sitedocclan (in case the documentation isn't clear about it).

I believe the default is "don't show reaped nodes" for both settings so if one is seeing lots of reaped nodes, one likely previously changed a setting or one has found a section that hasn't yet been "fixed" to not show reaped nodes to those who don't want to see them.

I did look at Perl News to see a bunch of reaped nodes shown, because, as an administrator, I don't choose to have reaped nodes hidden from me. Then I turned off the above settings and refreshed and the reaped nodes were indeed gone.
