Latest review

First review round: 36.1 weeks. Overall rating: 2 (moderate). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
After two revisions which satisfied the referees, the paper was nevertheless rejected by the editorial board. I was told that the journal had more papers with positive recommendations than space. Of course the editors saw this coming, but they failed to take proper measures and instead wasted the time and efforts of several authors and referees.
