Would a user be able to say things like "I'll give five points for comments about characterization, I'm working on that," or "I'd really like feedback on chapter 4, I'll give points for comments about that"?
It seems limiting to only be able to specify a word count. I also don't like the idea of story editors/admins/whatever having final judgement over where the points I earned go to. If I worked to get the points, I think I should be able to set my own standards about giving them away. If we did do this, I think users should have the option of doing an automated point thing or something specific/at their discretion.
If we did go with a system like you're proposing, it would have to be able to distinguish between people who want to give a review for points, and people who are just commenting because they want to. I shouldn't be penalized for using a quote in my comment if reviewing was never my intention in the first place.
