Dr. Bob,
So are you suggesting that a "moderator/civility buddy" would screen someone's posts if they get a PBC? Would this moderator/civility buddy have the ability to approve or disapprove the publishing of posts by uncivil people? How long a lag time would there be between initial post and publishing? This sounds like one more job for our overtaxed deputies.
Some of the Yahoo groups are set up so that all posts have to be approved. There is also the provision to unmoderate someone if they are considered trustworthy, or if the site isn't concerned about post content. It is hard to get that balance between freedom and civility.
Still waiting for those trigger flags....
