Motivation:
Worst review process I have experienced so far. After an R&R and two rounds of reviews, the editor suddenly decided that the paper allegedly would not be sufficiently anonymized and that the entire process had to be restarted. In the new review process, the paper was rejected although 2 out of 3 reviewers recommended an R&R. In their decision, the editor overlooked Reviewer 3 (who recommended an R&R) and only noticed after I asked about it, but didn't change the decision. In total, I now had 8 reviewers, out of which 7 recommended an R&R (or even acceptance), and on this basis, the paper was rejected after 9 months.
