When this came up before, the consensus was pretty strong that "Thank you" notes should not be reaped. Now we did have one recent episode of someone posting a "thank you" for each individual reply. But not even that warrants reaping.

I like your terminology: Reaping is for nodes that are blatantly inappropriate or duplicates (and "someone else gave the same (or better) answer" doesn't count!). I suspect Nodes to consider will be changing because this hasn't been sinking in despite it being repeated quite a bit. ):

I don't even visit Nodes to consider much anymore as most of what ends up there is a waste of time and I got tired of voting "keep" on everything.

I'm for having an indoctrination be required as part of the process for enabling the moderation nodelet (as well as other changes that have been discussed when this came up before).
