If he has issues to deal with, why not just label him an "inactive moderator", so that way people know to go to someone else, that way if he actually does have to step in if there isn't anyone else around, he can do so? Ragadorus' promotion came before nomination, he was basically put up there by one of the Bureau's or Admin's, without the voting process. Even so, there IS a difference between being inactive for 2-3 weeks with notification, and being absent for 4-5 months without any previous foresight.

Our fellow Mod, Kamikaze839, did just that, left a message on a Bureau's message wall, saying "I'll be gone for this about of days" until this day and we filled in for him. But Raga didn't, and he left for a greatly extended period of time, something that was not foreseen here, and was talked about greatly.

Frankly, we did need him, as there were MULTIPLE nights where the chat was modless, and as Raga said, he could've filled in late at night, but didn't. And yes, there were incidents while the Chat was modless, meaning that we truly did need him. Granted, yes, we could've asked, but as I pointed earlier, a Mod shouldn't have to be asked to do something they were promoted to do manditorily, they should do it if they see that the place they run might be in trouble if they're missing, and they should manage their time responsibly.
