While doing lots of reviews I may see mistakes, but also a very good code. 
For the latter I want to award a guy with a like or some sort of a bounty badge. 
This way I may also make good feedback when a guy has improved in coding. 
This can also mitigate the fact that the comments are mostly negative to what coders write, good code has no way to be equally praised, but it is not less important. 
This imbalance is not impacting code review practice the right way.

I like this idea, Dmitriy is right, a code review can be a daunting
thing for someone who's a new coder and can often leave people feeling
battered and bruised if they did some complex work which needed
refinement!

I like the idea as well. We've discussed ideas to motivate quality code reviews in the past. I think it's something we'd like to explore in the future.

If there are any ideas in the community on how this might look, please share :)

how about everybody gets one(?) gold star a day they can award to a
good review or a good file/diff?
