Daily awards is set up as a peer review site which I really enjoy because not only do I get feed back from people who are helpful and knowledgeable, I also get feedback from those that disagree with my viewpoint. It could be wrong category, lighting, cropping etc. If it is done in the right way, peer review can improve the ability of everyone around them. Sometimes it takes a while to learn how to put negative thoughts into constructive criticism. Sometimes it doesn't matter how nice you put something people are going to take offense.
I am not totally sure what the wrong category button does except to frustrate people, but it helps let me know there is a better primary category for my photo. Suggestions help also 
Peer review also helps maintain the quality and level of competition on this site. A person usually gets frustrated if something is pointed out to them once, but they will probably shake it off and go on. If it happens over and over they will take notice and either ask for advice or feel abused and take offense. No-one likes to be abused but what else is peer review if it isn't pressure from the community saying this is wrong it needs to be fixed? It is what makes Daily Awards a better community.
Are there sites out there that will let you exclude a person from voting on an image or leaving a comment if the person doesn't want your vote or doesn't like your comment? Maybe but then it would not be a peer review site, it would a very hard place to get an objective opinion from because all the negative feedback would be blocked.
It is hard to learn to accept, and sometimes it is hard to respond kindly but getting both positive and negative feedback is what makes this the place to be. It helps us learn and know what our audience and sometimes future customers want.
What does the wrong category button do? does it just alert us that someone has a suggestion for better placement or do so many wrong category clicks archive the image?

| The wrong category button is simply a "courtesy" notification to the owner of the image. It has no direct effect on ratings or image archiving. It is only a notification to the photographer that during voting presentation, someone considered that the image was not correctly categorized. . I would suggest that any wrong category tick be accompanied by a comment recommending to the image owner what the voter considers as a better category choice. WE
