There is a new book, A Mind For Numbers Barbara Oakley. Which covers how we learn.
The title markets to people bad at math, but it about how we learn generally. Your website has an evident pedagogical philosophy about learning, and you tailor your website around that philosophy. I think Oakley's book dovetails well with your ideas about how to learn. For example interleaving practice with different concepts.
The MOOC inspired suggestion fits in well with Oakley's book and your website.
Rating others people's work before having your own work rated seems like a good way to get people to think about a concept from different angles. It also reminds me of torrent ratios on private networks. if you don't keep a ratio above a certain point, you don't get to download from the website. Perhaps that can work for submissions over X submissions. X for free, then you have to review a few. As long as it isn't abused, it can work. Abuse is bound to be a thing, so admins will likely be important.

Hi Uncomfortable,
Thank you for all that you have provided for us. That being said, I fear change, keep everything the same. Just kidding.
Most folks are familiar with the tradition forum design, so that may be a good place to start.
The more specialized each subsection in a forum, the less likely each subsection's posts will get feedback.
Perhaps there is an easy way to start people off with all the posts, and then letting them prune the posts to what they would prefer to see, and if there are no new posts within their preference, showing them a few posts from a different section.
One way is by using "tags" in addition to a traditional forum structure. You can sort by tag, or show one tag over multiple sub folders, etc.
