- undohubris argues that since ICLR makes papers and reviews public even for rejections, it should be easy to track who's submitting slop, and other conferences should adopt similar policies.
- AnkaReuel replies that while not all conferences reveal names publicly, senior reviewers can generally see real identities; he questions whether ICLR's approach actually works and cites concerns that pushing enforcement into the public domain could backfire.
