From the inbox:
I just noticed that the EVISE system, Elsevier has recently introduced as a new online editorial system for [journal], has sent you about 6 automated reminders to complete your review for [journal].
I deeply apologize for this technical mistake that I immediately reported to our technical support staff at Elsevier.
In addition, we have been asking Elsevier to stop threatening reviewers of denying access to the submission if review time exceeds a certain time limit. We are very sorry that the EVISE technical staff has still not succeeded in stopping this practice as requested by the [journal] Editorial team, so please ignore the content of these reminders.I very much hope you can accept my sincere apologies and that we can still count on you having a look at the relevant manuscript as your time allows!
My reply:
Sure, no problem. I ignore the reminders anyway ;->
Here is the 2/17 reminder:
Dear Prof. Whitehead,
You kindly agreed to review the above-referenced manuscript on 03/Jan/2016. We sent a reminder that your review was overdue on 16/Feb/2016 but have not yet received your review.
Please let us know as soon as possible if you cannot complete your review at this time.
If we do not hear from you within the next 85 days then we will process the submission without your input, and you will no longer be able to access the submission to review.
I was hoping they weren't going to send me a reminder each day for the next 85 days.
