Have to agree that the calls for nicer comments have not been coming from authors, though some have come from team players. I think this is because there has been a lot of bonding done through the cup and people are being protective of others they see as younger or newer and possibly open to being hurt.
I think that this is all motivated by kindness at the base, and that it was just surprise at the critical depth of some comments. A to those comments, I think they are a logical extension of people wanting to explain some of their voting choices and being invited to view the fics as competing against each other.
And yes, the mods are doing a great job, though, given I am about 100,000 words behind in reading, I'm not having fun yet! had some good reads, though ...
