Not anymore. I have been there though, and you may consider hard to believe, and be surprised, to know that in general reviewers would prefer by far to be in a position to accept a picture. It's more rewarding.
These reviewers are photographers like us, some are probably participating here in this forum. They don't have a lowly job, nor a great one either. They chose to be reviewers because they like it, or the incentive is big enough, they wouldn't be able to continue that job otherwise. And when they submit pictures, they get treated the same way as the non-reviewers, no difference.
