As others have mentioned it seems like the solution is a small fee for submission. Ideally non-refundable instead of refundable. Talented authors should be willing to pay a nominal amount for the overhead of maintaining the bar for content, even if their submission isn’t accepted I assume this is a publication they’d like to continue to see succeed.
