The scientific establishment will never be convinced to stop doing bad statistics, so "the solution to bad speech is more speech". Statisticians should be rewarded for effective review and criticism of flawed studies, and critical statistical reviews of any article should be easy to find when they exist.

This is sounding like a great startup idea for a new scientific journal, actually.

I do enjoy the idea of a journal focused entirely on the review of statistical methods and underlying methodologies applied in modern day research. Could act as a helpful signal for relevant and applicable research.
Just adding an Arxiv filter that allows me to set a minimum p-value or variation % would do it!
