No, if someone considers a node for 'delete', I still want to be able to say "yes, it sucks, but it'd be better to edit it than delete it". And I don't want someone trying to prevent deletion of a troll by considering it for "non delete" and thus requiring a bunch of "nay" votes and then unconsideration, etc. before it can be reaped.

We have a design for selecting "consideration type" but it is more than just "delete/other" and was mostly thought up as a way to provide feedback because we were getting a lot of considerations that a lot of people felt strongly against and were spending a lot of effort to "fix" things and not getting anywhere. But footpad's best node seems to have made a huge improvement.

I'd like to add a "consider it" checkbox so that it will look less like the chatterbox and typing "/msg paco Who are you?" w/o checking the box will get you a warning, not an invalid consideration (and disable "/msg ..." as a consideration reason) but I wanted the code for the two related nodelets merged before making more changes that would make merging more difficult.

Oh, one of the enhancements in the "consideration type" design was a consideration type of "duplicate" which would require a node ID be entered into the reason field and would do some automated things to make dealing with duplicates go more smoothly. This still might be worth doing but it isn't as easy nor as important as some other things that I still don't have time to do, so I wouldn't hold my breath. (:
