I understand the pessimism Mario; maybe I'm too hopeful.
As Rose is pushing, though, I'm certain there's a way to make it work. Perhaps some sort of system where a thread may not be submitted for review unless the individual is actively providing feedback herself. And not meager feedback either, but something substantial: something that makes it clear the individual actually has read the work of others, and is intelligently suggesting a sufficient reward.
Put another way, if people don't want to bother reading their peers' work and making sure they're duly rewarded, fuck 'em. I, for one, would bother, and would bother often.
