It's been established by precedent that rules 11 and 24 do not require any
action on the part of a player.  If a player does not post for a week,
they automatically receive a demerit, whether anyone realizes it or not.  
If they have three demerits, they leave the game even if no one notices.

It's been over a week since Jota's last post.  He is still not on the
Passive Turn-Takers List, so he has received a demerit and
lost.  But that's not all.  He also had week-long gaps on:
Mon, 03 Mar 10:23:16 -0500 - Mon, 10 Mar 20:27:16 -0500
Sun, 20 Apr 02:36:00 -0400 - Fri, 02 May 22:54:25 -0400
Wed, 14 May 12:13:31 -0400 - Mon, 02 Jun 16:46:16 -0400
(The last being the gap noted in a previous post.)
So really he was removed from the game on May 21.

Furthermore, Adam Biltcliffe has the following gaps:
Sat, 01 Mar 20:54:53 -0000 - Mon, 10 Mar 03:42:45 -0000
Fri, 11 Apr 18:33:00 +0100 - Sun, 20 Apr 16:45:39 +0100
Wed, 14 May 17:12:45 +0100 - Sat, 24 May 12:15:31 +0100
Sat, 31 May 14:44:59 +0100 - Sat, 07 Jun 18:04:32 +0100
He was therefore also removed from the game on May 21.
