The "peer review" meme is damaging the scientific progress:

>Peer review switches from merely useless to actively harmful. It may be ineffective at keeping papers with analytic or methodological flaws from being published, but it can be deadly effective at suppressing criticism of a dominant research paradigm.

what you are proposing is basically just PLoS, which checks manuscripts for technical accuracy but doesn't sweat relevance, and publishes anything decently accurate that's sent in.

PLoS is widely regarded as a meme journal for this reason; after all, if it's actually interesting, it could probably be published elsewhere. also, this happened in a PLoS journal:

I think if you have an idea, you should have to convince the community that they should care about it.
