Adj.
When an internet forum member is subjected to intensive forced indoctrination resulting in the rejection of old beliefs and acceptance of new ones;
When happy members of online forums become jaded and cynical enough to be 'promoted' as moderators.
The membership, not the inductee, then appear different, no longer deserving of mutual respect and admiration, but become merely a source of annoyance to the staff. Mods become distant and unattainable.
Ant: Demoted
WoW, He used to be a laugh until he was modded, now he's just angry all the time, and has no time for us little people, or even to post in teh fora.
It's a shame to see a good person so modwashed.
A retro science fiction, fashion and technology subculture inspired by late 1960s psychedelic counterculture. Similar to Steampunk, its practitioners find fascination with the past’s vision of the future. Also referred to as Mod Futurism, examples can be seen in the cult classic film “Barbarella” (1968) and television program “UFO” (1970). This trend’s origins were first observed at DragonCon 2011, a Sci-Fi/Pop Culture festival held annually in Atlanta, Georgia.
