Some context: the Journal of the ACM is one of the most important computer science-related academic journals around. A lot of huge papers get published there, and it's generally one of the go-to places were to publish very big results.
Apparently they are having some problems with people submitting faulty proofs of P/NP (the biggest and most famous open problem in theoretical computer science right now). Enough problems, it appears, for them to make a policy that
So yeah. You are not allowed to solve P/NP more often than once every two years.
