According to Stormrage's server, Ramala is a moderator and has been so since Tuesday night (even when offline). I'm still messaging GM/Support trying to get myself out of that channel (so that I can actually get in it according to my client).
Just beware, I think I know exactly what caused this and I'm warning you guys so you don't do it yourselves. During one of Stormrage's shaky nights (Tuesday), I tried to Logout and was stuck sitting there ingame. Usually at this point I Alt-F4 to get out. That day I decided to sit and wait, while alt-tabbing back and forth between a browser.
When you're stuck like this, chances are the game has already kicked you out of all the chat channels you were in. I decided to try something: I did another "/join Lurkers" and sure enough, I could then chat in the channel again. Don't do this!. I had done this once before, but ended up Alt-F4'ing and closing the game. This time, the game finally kicked me out when Eastern Kingdoms crashed, but it left my character in the channel according to the server. Thus, there will be an extra-quiet Ramala moderating the Lurkers channel for awhile. Say hi to him, but don't expect a response :blink:.
Oh, yeah, if anyone gets moderation rights in Lurkers somehow, please kick Ramala out for me :). Then I won't have to wait for Blizzard to realize the problem is server-side, not client-side.

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
