Upon further consideration, I do enjoy your proposal Meer. It may have been the state of mind when I posted earlier and while most of it is still relevant and should be taken up on consideration, I have no harsh feelings against reading and judging other people's job. I personally have an issue of people judging mine from time to time because I thoroughly hate reading through my work, it kills the flow for me as a writer to go back step by step and judge it. It would be like playing Prince of Persia, a game built upon flow between fantastic acrobatics where you fly smoothly through the air and run across walls then sometimes with a delightful breath of "fresh" comes in the plot to remind us why you're enjoying Prince of Persia-syndrome, that brings the experience to a slight halt before you do it all over again - except now you use your rewinding time dagger to go back from the start and judge why you in fact did jump instead of duck over that branch and how it would affect the reader to read that piece of work. It breaks flow and that is why most professional writers have proofreaders; so they don't lose their will to write reading their own stuff.
Here your suggestion would work fine - I don't have to read it but still get rewarded for the amount of effort I've spent on it and here is the problem because I like getting rewarded the most possible and that would force me to read my work and judge it as anyone else. I know this may seem like a petty criticism, but me (and as such "people like me") would probably feel the same way and that would probably cut a bit in the recruitment effort.
