Is being a submitter and reviewer at the same time an interest conflict?

Crestock recently began a program of hiring submitters as reviewers/inspectors. It has been a total pleasure so far, start to finish. These guys bring with them such a wealth of knowledge and experience that puts them in really good stead to make excellent reviewers.
We were very apprehensive in beginning this program, only selecting submitters who had a proven track record of both quality submissions and good community involvement. It was important to really get to know them on a personal level before employing them too, spending a couple of hours talking over the phone.
Their inspections are closely monitored both for consistency and to ensure that no bias comes into their inspections. I've not noticed any bias at all, or at least not in a bad way. I've noticed that they all have a really positive approach to helping photographers and getting as much exposure for the pictures that deserve it.
It was interesting that most of them gave learning more about photography and viewing pictures for inspiration as their motivation for the position. They've all mentioned now that idea is long forgotten. If you want inspiration you won't sit thru up to a thousand very mixed quality images to get inspiration. Its much easier and much much more inspiring to source that from other areas.

We've found that once they become reviewers they really have little time for submitting anymore, and they usually know this going into the job.
I do think, however, the best reviewers come from the contributor community.
