I'm extremely curious to see how this pans out. I'm a huge fan of moderated comment sections. Like others, though, I'm concerned about the effect "peer reviews" will have on thoughts that run contrary to the prevailing opinions.  (Rather like Yelp, where substantive reviews can get torpedoed by a useless review that is "Funny".) Still, I applaud the intent and hope that it works well for the paper and Civil.
