King of the Americas

The most recent suspension at the JREF is King of the Americas. Talk about your unlikely suspensions. KOTA has been around forever. He's a one-trick pony. Basically, he saw a UFO, meaning he saw something he couldn't identify. Only he did identify it. Apparently it's constructed by aliens and defies the laws of physics. He couldn't possibly be mistaken about what he saw. No way. Which leads us to his suspension.

Apparently he was trying to stress the importance of relying on our senses, so he suggested that we try ignoring them while walking along the railroad tracks. Or something like that - the mods (the idiot, Locknar, to be precise) excised that text very quickly because, get this, it was advocating suicide!  That's right, the JREF powers that be are so concerned about suicide that if somebody says something that could remotely misconstrued as suggesting they harm themselves, a suspension is in order. Critical thinking at its best, huh?

And that's how the likable but loopy King of the Americas got suspended by the JREF.

Locknar

Locknar is a moderator over at the JREF. This guy is an idiot. A doofus. He is probably the worst moderator in the history of moderators. I really don't even know where to start or where to end. His stupidity knows no bounds.

Oh, that's not being a critical thinker, now is it? It surely isn't, but I don't care. If you hang out at the JREF, which is probably the case if you're here, then you have probably encountered Locknar floundering as a moderator. There are many people are annoyed with his uneven, knee-jerk, idiotic moderator decisions. Other moderators hardly ever back him up, and when they do, it's because they are just protecting their own.

I wish Darat would publish the number of appeals each moderator gets along with the number of infractions. More importantly, I'd like to see what percentage are reversed. He's had his chance, Darat. Fire his ass and find someone decent.

That is all.
