There's already a "show unmoderated content" option in user settings. I suppose the effect of leaving it off is slightly different, but it's hard to see why, if someone doesn't want to see "unmoderated content", they'd want to see reaped nodes.

If you have "show unmoderated content" set, you still see the node in the reply list with "This node has been reaped" (or similar; I forget the exact words). I was wondering whether an option might be added to just not show those nodes (or their replies) at all.

OK, if now, the reaped nodes don't show, if 'show unmoderated' is _not_ set, then most of the machinery to accomplish what you want should already be in place -- which supports you're "I don't think it would be all that much work.." hypothesis a few re:'s up.
