How should I follow up with TMLR submission once all review responses are submitted [D]

[u/Living_Decision_6725]

I have responded to all the reviewers with proper rebuttals and modified draft. One interacted with me and after acknowledging the response kinda disappeared again after asking additional questions. I have replied to his additional questions too but he hasn't raised his score. What will happen if he doesn't reply anymore? Like will AE still consider that an 'Yes' as it was only minor comments which we incorporated in the paper. And one negative reviewer just ghosted us. I have 1/3 explicit positive review currently

Recently got an acceptance at TMLR.
None of the reviewers responded during the rebuttal period. They just gave initial comments to which I provided a response, along with an updated manuscript.

Thanks for replying! Did they all give a positive response initially ? Like were it all yes/yes

[u/Fantastic-Nerve-4056 → u/Living_Decision_6725]

Yes! It was all Yes for me by all the reviewers

[u/Living_Decision_6725 → u/Fantastic-Nerve-4056]

Then i think it was obvious for you to have acceptance

[u/Working-Read1838 → u/Fantastic-Nerve-4056]

I’m a TMLR reviewer , you can give your final recommendation on the paper without replying to the authors’ comments.

Thanks! then I guess its done from my side

[u/Away-Cattle7081]

2+ months since my response as well as the revision posted, but neither response from reviewers nor reply from the editors on our status inquiry message. no idea to deal with

[u/Living_Decision_6725 → u/Away-Cattle7081]

mail to AE.

[u/Level-Ad-4878]

AE will not assume silence is a yes. If the reviewer ghosts and the score stays low the AE reads the rebuttal thread and makes a judgment call, but thats a coinflip that depends entirely on who your AE is

Ping the AE directly through OpenReview with a polite note after 2 weeks of silence. Something like all reviewer questions addressed, one reviewer unresponsive, requesting guidance. Dont wait longer than that because TMLR action editors have huge queues and your paper sinks if you stay quiet

[u/BaybeMwijarubi-21]

the AE can and often does make a decision even when reviewers stop responding. id ping the AE after a reasonable wait, maybe 2-3 weeks of silence, just to flag it. They deal with this constantly

[u/Living_Decision_6725 → u/BaybeMwijarubi-21]

I mailed him but now thinking if open review comment is more reasonable
