Key Points

The post argues that major conference paper acceptance can feel random and that overall review quality is declining.
It describes common failure modes in peer review, such as reviewers rejecting work for missing citations or comparisons despite understanding the paper.
The author asks whether any specific conference or journal is known for a more fair and accurate review process than others.
The discussion is framed as a community opinion question rather than a report of a new policy or publication.

Major conference acceptance has become pretty much random and review quality is constantly dropping.

There is always that one reviewer who understood nothing but still rejects the paper because you didn't cite "X" or compare with "Y", and the meta-reviewer usually just goes along with it. In your opinion, is there a conference or journal with a solid review process that is even slightly less random than the others?
