can someone please tell @acm.org that when I click on "PDF" on a paper in the digital library I want to download the PDF not spend 10 minutes waiting for their useless in-browser PDF reader to load so that I can click the button in the reader to DOWNLOAD THE GODDAMN PDF

It does sting to get a desk rejection after one week. What else does? Waiting 4+ months for the same rejection, with a 2-line review (or, worse, an entirely AI-generated one). If you're not going to engage with the paper, make it quick.

One solution: normalize desk-rejections. After a fast first assessment, papers are either desk-rejected, or go to full review. The current conf peer-review system has desk rejects as the exception, as it relied on self-selection prior to submission and small numbers. Neither of these hold anymore.
