There are things I wonder about having a prechecker of posts, though.
If a post is approved, yet found uncivil, who would get the PBC? Even I can't always figure out what Dr. Bob will and won't think crosses the line. I wouldn't want to vouch for someone else's posts if I were going to get in trouble if they're found to be uncivil. Yet if you say both people are off the hook as long as they follow the system (as with autoasterisking) is that fair either?
Would precheckers have to be approved? Would there be any preapproval qualifications needed? If not, would the prechecker have a necessarily greater understanding of the civility policy than the person asking? Would a prechecker get disapproved if enough uncivil posts slipped through? How would posters and checkers be matched? Would a poster ask for volunteers to check their posts, and choose from those who volunteer?
