I have a question. Where exactly would this proposed addition, the 'hold consideration' be useful, aside from this one specific case?

If the node is say, a sopw that's badly written, do we put it on hold until the grammar and or formatting is improved? Would this really improve the site? Isn't this why we have social corrective mechanisms in the form of voting and responses?

What problem does this solved that couldn't be solved by a reply to the node? What benefit does it really add? If the node shouldn't be approved, don't approve it! It's that simple.

And in this specific case, would a 'hold' feature even do any good? Could people easily see that this lack of sleep was why it was held? Would this be any improvement over the reply that says exactly that, or would it be harder to find and notice?
