I guess the scenario you want to protect against is this.
Reviewer is Junior Researcher, the author is a Head of School. Next year Junior Researcher applies for job at that school and doesn't get it or applies for a grant or ....

Manuel asks:
In fact, what's the gain in knowing who is reviewing a paper?
let us look at this from another angle, maybe: As reviewers in open reviewing we get a chance of becoming more aware of our own inclinations in the face of public visibility vis-a-vis objectivity, well-reflected arguments and more transparency in general.
Q: Why should authors of research have to bow to any authority that is hiding its identity and tendencies?
actually, so far I have heard no convincing arguments why in the age of open Wikis any reviewer's identity should stay behind closed doors. Maybe you have another argument to convince me?

I don't agree. I a hard argument can be considered by some people as a preasure, while other could not.

well, any attempts at pressures or bribes could easily be made known, couldn't they?

I don't thnk opening peer reviewing would be a good idea. Reviewer
must
keep unknown, or she could suffer preasures (even bribes) from
authors.
In
my opinion only the editor must communicate with the reviewers

agree, ... so it is up to you as a reviewer what you do with your
"blindness"
:-)
doesn't this point in the direction of - plus - is + ? I mean: why not do open peer reviewing?

Even more, you can easily identify the authors because usually
they
include
references to their previous publications to build the new
hypothesis ...

Most of my reviewing for conference and journals was double
blind,
although the effectiveness of it was always a bit questionable,
as
in
many
cases you can, as a reviewer, identify the author from the style
and
argument. This tends to get worse in specialised areas, where
the
pool
of
researchers is necessarily small.
