Perhaps some non-binary classification could be of use. You could imagine one or two additional categories of acceptance/rejection, something like plausible and implausible. Journals could publish articles falling into these classifications making sure that it is abundantly clear that they have not been fully approved/ disapproved.

Having such options should allow for promotion/demotion of ideas as they garner more/less support.

The concept is similar to that of working papers and preprints, in the belief that getting more eyes (both expert and amateur) on a paper is better for truth discovery than if only a few experts evaluate.
