I see a whole lot of problems with this idea, fueds starting (fine! so and so wants to vote me down, I will vote them down), feelings hurt(some newer monk having a saint they respect "constructively critique" code they sweated over for 4 days).
Perhaps rather than doing a challenge, why not have a comment as part of voting?  
Perhaps when you click a ++ or -- there was a second page after you clicked on vote for reasons- have a few drop downs for ++ ie.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;very creative&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;unique design&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;great approach&lt;br&gt;
And we could have the -- comments&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You would make St. Larry cry {grin}&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do you understand the concept of designing code?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;li&gt;very creative- but perl doesn't do that&lt;br&gt;
And perhaps at the bottom we could have a simple text area for comments that do not fit there.&lt;p&gt;
Perhaps there would be some way to keep a &lt;b&gt;ANONOMOUS&lt;/B&gt; record of these comments. 
When a person looked at their nodes, there would be a little table that said x++ votes cited..., y-- votes gave this reason etc.
Perhaps anonymous "reasons" could help some people without them having a fear of retribution.  I think this will not alleviate all of the problems that there is with anonymous voting, it may help.
