Not a lawyer, but it seems like posting the content yourself could ruin a Section 230 defense:

Also, I'm not sure why a quality-review process would lessen culpability if all the illegal stuff gets through anyway.

It has done in the past, at least if the person doing the posting added their own editorial comments as I believe Hunter Moore did. However this issue hasn't come up so far because the main lawyer pursuing most of the civil cases, Marc Randazza, strongly believes this shouldn't affect section 230 immunity.
