Hi all,
In case you haven't seen this. An important and truly difficult debate is happening on (mostly US) social media channels around the US-based Journal of Digital Humanities peer-review process. Here is the post by Adeline Koh that sparked the debate.

It is my sincere hope that as a community we can get beyond the growing pains that come with experimentation and diversification. This will be especially challenging at a global scale.
Optimistic, A.
Here's an interesting link that touches on the idea of why this kind of thing happens at experimental Not-for-profit presses/journals.
Without knowing the specific details of this case, I can say that I've been involved often-enough in what seem like similar situations from the other side of the table. That is to say making stuff up as we go along. This is not a good thing in abstract, but it is an artifact of the disruptive nature of the activity I think that we end up with these issues.

That's exactly what I tried to say in my comment to Adeline's post, that I don't think this was a problem arising from the 'experimental' nature of JDH. I think the problem is a culture of opacity and lack of public, open editorial policies.
