I'd keep it fairly simple. I don't know if we could enforce a reply rule (based on submitting a song for critique) since not everyone can actually record their own music. And there are probably some people here who could offer positive feedback, but don't actually write.
Insults would not be tolerated. (we shouldn't even have to say this). So we lay out very clear ground rules about what is and is NOT constructive criticism. ie. 'Your song sounds like <i>blahblahblah</i> and I hate that/them so you suck' is NOT constructive.
In other words, don't post a reply if you don't like the song or style of music.
Try to be as specific as possible with criticism. ie. rather than just say the singer is out of tune, point out specific areas (times) when the singer is out of tune. Or the beat is off or whatever.
You don't have to have anything good to say about a song, but it would need to be said with positive feedback in mind.
On the other hand, if you think a song is perfect then feel free to say it. Give examples about how it is perfect.
