Loss Leader was being sarcastic, as he confirmed to you on several occasions but which you continue to ignore.
It is perhaps useful to recall briefly here what Loss Leader really said:
In August 2013, responding to my second telepathy test on this forum (which was then the forum of the Randi Educational Foundation), he said:
I am seeing a 4 very clearly. It's almost as though I had written it myself.
He was then the only moderator who participated in my test, his answer (
4) to my test "Which number did I write?" was correct (and this was verified by the use of a MD5 hash). This answer was the only one Loss Leader ever gave to one of my tests, therefore his "hit rate" in my tests so far is equal to 100%.
You say, Agatha, "he was being sarcastic", but I do not detect sarcasm in his brief and sober answer above (if this was sarcasm, it was lucky sarcasm because he gave the right answer to the test). By the way, Agatha, I wonder what you do to keep the electromagnetic waves generated by your brain inside your skull.
About 8 months later, however (in April 2014, during my fourth test), he posted this:
I can't believe I have to spell this out. I was kidding. I wasn't serious. I was lying about seeing any number very clearly. ... I saw no number. I heard no thought. ...
In October 2014, I said:
... Clearly, whether respondents are serious and honest or not is of central importance ...
and Loss Leader replied:
... Your honor, I object because it is devastating to my case. ...
(I corrected a small punctuation error)
and he posted this video:

Also in October 2014, he added
...
All of my responses to any of your tests have been lies.
If I were you, I would discard all my responses as not being credible.
Now, the question is: If a moderator of a paranormal forum has no credibility, let alone special credibility, how can any person's credibility be assessed?
Notice that he said "
all of my responses ... have been lies". Therefore, this seems to apply also to his statement
... I was kidding. I wasn't serious. ...
In addition, his sentence
If a moderator of a paranormal forum has no credibility, let alone special credibility, how can any person's credibility be assessed?
seemed to validate my point of view, that being a moderator (i.e. a person of authority, who has to constantly show s/he is qualified for the job) can increase credibility.
