Going back a ways for this one...

I considered going a similar route when I constructed the PT: offer reviewers a
list of checkpoints that they should consider when posting a review. I
abandoned this thinking because the 'rules' for processing the checks were too
complicated. Should some checks be required, but not others? What if a new
'check' was created? How are existing reviews handled?
I figured it was more sensible to offer a comment box where people could say
what they looked at, or didn't look at.
A simpler, lower impact solution would be to add verbiage to the review-posting
form, giving guidelines as to what makes up a review.

Hmm. I can see why "will not review" is good, but I'm not seeing the importance
of "will review".

That's a good idea. However, it really should allow the author to revisit the
part, and change the setting. :/
