Actually, I would have to disagree. "There" (There.com) allows
this, and the system appears to be working fine in beta, to the
casual observer, at least. They have staff members review designs,
and it costs resources (in-game money) to have a design reviewed, so
that people don't frivolously spam the reviewers with tons of
half-assed designs.
Staff review of player-made content isn't a new idea. When I was a
wizard on AmberMUSH, we had a wizard whose sole purpose was to
inspect building before it could be linked to a public area. I
would argue that for certain types of games -- especially ones
geared for Social-Explorer and Explorer-Social players --
player-made content is a HUGE win.
It may sound expensive to review player made content, but ask
yourself: What costs more: Reviewing player-made content, or
producing content? Sure, not all of the player-made content will be
high quality, but if even only 5% of it is up to your standards, it
will still be less expensive than creating that same content,
in-house. If you get too much junk-content, you can always tune the
submission requirements to raise the barrier of entry.
