That "prior approval" would obviously have to FOLLOW the prophet or other speaker's act of speaking his or her message - speaking to the elders at least. Otherwise, just what are the elders to judge?
Like I said, for me, I would prefer a more open system. But, I have to also add that there are certainly going to be others who prefer to throttle this whole thing back and most likely, they will do so because of bad experiences in the past. I admit that I have a hard time arguing against people who recount those kinds of experiences.
The elders in DG's scenario are judging "after the fact," however.
