It can go both ways. It can help and it can do the opposite. Members have bias. Whenever someone receives a lower score of a review then they had anticipated, they will more likely give a negative review of the reviewer due to them not agreeing with the reviewer. Reviews given by the staff or members ARE opinions of the person giving the review. Writing a review because you disagree with a reviewer is not very helpful because you are stating your opinions, not necessarily the review technique.
Example:
I get a 4/10 average score on my review. The reviewer said that my forum is too bright and that it looks not very appealing. I don't agree with that and I believe that it is the opposite, so, I write a review explaining MY opinions of why I am correct and how the reviewer could improve by not using their own opinions but using my opinions; hope that makes sense.
As far as I know, the Review Team helps new Reviewers improve by giving them tips and locating the weaknesses of the Reviewer. Reviewers, in my opinion, have less bias and are more likely to focus on more of the review technique aspect than their opinions on specific things, thus, making it more helpful for the Review team to help each other out and work as a team than having members give their opinions. Also, members already due this by commenting below the reviewer (usually) as far as I have seen.
