I think the negative/positive voting works -I think maybe if everyone is more strident in what constitutes a negative vote. "I liked this less than the others" isn't very helpful. As a voter, your vote gets discredited if you don't give a concrete reason...that sort of thing. Concrete reasons like things were misspelled, the grammar was off, the story went no where, the characters were OOC. Including examples. That sort of thing.
Which is basically what you said! :)
Having to give feedback on all stories wouldn't put me off, per se. I just...wouldn't be able to devote the attention to it that I'd want to.
Would I participate without negative feedback? Probably not, actually. As much as I like hearing positive things, I like that the anonymity allows people to tell me how I'm doing with honesty. The negative feedback I received from jack_ianto_las (may it rest in peace) was perhaps some of the most helpful stuff I've ever gotten, including legitimate writing classes. :)
