Very sad if that is the case. He is/was one of the funnier mods.

I feel the same way.

Come on people, if Charan was calling it quits or leaving he would certainly make a post about it. My money is on RL vacation.

He was the best for sure...

One would think so, but it doesnt explain the complete removal of him under *meet your mods*. Hes been completely removed. O.o

Guess I imagine if he was just taking a vacation he would just not login, not remove his info.

If I cared for it, yes. I used to be a global mod on the InfiniteAion forums, for example, with much more trolling an noise than here, and I did my job more than properly. Unlike Charan. I wouldn't want to be a mod here though, because the simple fact that GGG let Charan and some other mods do such a bad job tells me enough.

And that's saying a lot.

Ouch.

You must have been a really modest moderator.

If you were truely a moderator you'd know there is proper routes to voice your complaints regarding improper mod behaviour. Acting all superior and insulting the mods here with zero reasons is uncalled for.

And I do know that. What's your point? I'd have to complain about, from what I can tell, pretty much all mods here because from what I've seen they're all doing a pretty mediocre-to-bad job. It's pointless. I just do my part in strolling these forums. ;)

One nazi mod down. I say good riddance.

somebody is butthurt.

Too bad he's gone now we are essentially back to zero moderation.

Make me a mod if you wanna see a nazi....

Someone mod this man!

Hmmmmm. Shame. Charan is no longer in the "Meet your Moderators" forum thread. That appears to be an indicator he is not a moderator any more. I happened to agree with his aggressive moderation style, as these forums tend to be abusive and unfriendly at the best of times. However, I will say this. I recall seeing a message or two from him looking a little... frazzled... in which he said some things which were actually (mildly) against GGG's own TOS. I wonder if that cost him. Too bad if it did. I thought he was otherwise generally fair.

I should imagine that it's rather a challenge being both a moderator and a thread participant at the very same time. You would not at all times be in a position to say what you really think. Like it or not, you end up being a proxy spokeman for GGG, and this would require a certain conservativeness with language and perhaps even opinions.

For example, I wouldn't expect to hear a moderator talking about FFA loot being a "stupid decision" or what not. Not that I'm saying I saw Charan type such a thing. Just sayin'. I think if I moderated, I'd be tempted to do some from an account unassociated with my main one for this reason.

Who even gives a shit enough to notice, you people are sad. Missing or defending some random person on a forum.

Online communities and whatnot. When someone prominent vanishes, people notice. Go stroke your e-peen somewhere else.

e-peen has nothing to do with not caring about people.
