- And how exactly do you propose to judge reviewers? Who will determine that
- some decision is a "mistake", and what kind of punishment might you be able
- to give?
-
- The fact that they're all volunteers pretty much enforces the "untouchable"
- bit. Beggars can't be choosers and all that... I suppose you might have the
- option of keeping a list of the "bad" ones (however you manage to determine
- that), and not asking them to review in the future. I didn't have the
- impression that there is an overabundance of reviewers as it is...
