Neither liberal nor conservative. Contrary to popular belief, does NOT imply a political affiliation or lack thereof; someone with no political party is considered an Independent, but can still be very conservative or very liberal. A moderate is merely someone who isn't conservative enough to be on the right, and isn't liberal enough to be on the left. Another popular (and incorrect) belief is that moderates just can't make up their minds. That's as untrue as it gets; I am an independent moderate myself, and I have no trouble making up my mind. I'm just considered moderate because, for example, I am against both abortion AND capital punishment. The former is a conservative view, and the latter is a liberal view. Therefore I am moderate.
I'm moderate because I have beliefs that overlap liberalism and conservativism, NOT because I don't belong to a party, and NOT because I can't make up my mind! Go screw a tree you asses.

Moderators are assigned to "moderate" something which means they are in charge of seeing that it does what it is supposed to do and nothing more.
Most moderators are driven mad by their lust for power and will cause suffering and hatred at every turn because it makes them happy to see others unhappy.
What the other definitions here leave out is that moderators aren't just for forums or websites. There are moderators of sorts in games, chat rooms and many other places. All of them are nerdy teenages who get back at life for making them monsters by taking their anger out on anyone they can.

I used to play a really cool MUD called Moongate until the moderators(caleed immortals for some gay reason) went mad with power, changed the name of the game and banned me for trying to report a bug. Losers.

Egotistical little pricks who delight in denying Urbandictionary definitions and Grouphug confessions. See also queer
I tried to make a halfway decent contribution to society and I got rejected by those damn moderators at Urbandictionary. Though they prefer the title "editors", because they like to feel for once as if they aren't insignificant retards.

Yeah, you got your conservatives and your liberals, but how do you actually get anything done without the moderates making the deals?

1. A person who, upon hearing the political arguments presented by both of the only two options available in the U.S., decides that both sides are run by crazy fanatics with no concept or reality. Upon realizing this, the moderate also comes to the conclusion that the only way to make progress is to aid both sides of the struggle to both make the favorable changes and fend off the unfavorable.
2. One who thinks before voting.

You've got your religious zealots on the right, and communist human haters on the left. Guess I'll have to be a moderate, it's the only choice for the sane.

A total control freak. Someone who either has no life or just has fun controlling yours. Can be a parent, older sibling, teacher, pastor, anyone who you're told and expected to listen to.
Man, my sister is such a moderator! She never let's me have friends over on weekdays, but she's always going out to places.
