Oh, more people would definitely be better, but the site is not that big. 500 active members and I think not even half of them are active reviewers. You'd never get a story accepted in a reasonable period of time.
About what gets accepted... I've been a volunteer there for more than a year now, and I have seen just about everything accepted. It would work better if more people were willing to review, if the reviewer pool would really mirror the opinions of all members. *sigh*
All in all I think if a site doesn't allow open posting, it's fairer than having the site owner and her friends decide on a whim... because if someone happens not to get along with that clique, she'll have a hard time to get in no matter how wonderful her writing is.
I know why I definitely prefer completely open sites.
