The comments SciRate gets at the moment are pretty decent, I think because people mostly just integrate it into their existing review process. https://scirate.com/arxiv/1501.07071 is a good example. If the community were to grow though we'd definitely want heavy moderation.

That does look like a refreshing exchange. The pessimist in me thinks it's a pretty optimal "showcase" example though :P

On a related note, don't some fields/journals (like pharmacology is in my head for some reason) require ref reports to be made public?
