The International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology [ijact.org], an open-access journal some accuse of being predatory due to its lack of actual editorial judgment of any kind, has recently accepted for publication [scholarlyoa.com] the a paper entitled Get me off Your F****** Mailing List. [stanford.edu] (warning: NSFW language, in case it wasn't obvious)

This raises an interesting point about open-access journals: How does one police the quality of the work when some are faking the editorial process entirely?
