Yeah. It shouldn't be like welcome messages, it should be specifically for thanking for good edits.
But this is a cultural issue, not a software issue.

The downside of this is when we inevitably start thanking vandals by accident.

Apparently that's the reason.
However, being able to thank IP contributors for their contribution would be FANTASTIC. Saying "thank you" to casual drive-by contributors would give them quite a buzz, I'd think.
Perhaps a timeout? Say, you can thank an IP for their edit within 1 hour? We can experiment and see what time gives the best amount of thanks versus mistakes.
