Different viewpoint - these referees should be thanked for not letting random bad papers get into the journal. Don’t you see the obvious conflict for high acceptance rate referees- Accept each other’s paper? You guys have it all backwards here.

Full list of harsh referees:
0 acceptance out of 15+ reviews,
1 acceptance out of 20+ reviews,
2 acceptances out of 50+ reviews):2 things:
- 1/20 and 2/50 aren’t that much lower than the journal’s acceptance rate. What would you expect?
- acceptances/rejections are what the editor decided to do with the paper, not necessarily what the referee recommended.
