One of the main reasons why I am not in favour of peer review, and just let anyone make a presentation who wants, is, that peer reviews work in academic environments, where both the submitters and the reviewers are used to this concept.
Here, we don't have that.
At the conference organised by Malta, the reviewers were academics used to this concept, but many submitters weren't, and a few found it hard to accept rejection. Some would not even accept that the reviewers had the necessary expertise. In the Ninja forum, that will be even much more the case, and bad feelings will be inevitable.
As the main purpose of review is to be able to reject contributions, I wonder why that should be done.
Let anyone explain their ideas (at least once). It might be helpful to better understand them than from just the forum posts.
In any case, this will not lead to any publication, so there is no academic reputation at stake...
