Backseat Moderator
A user on a chatroom or forum who, for whatever reason, decides they're a moderator or admin, even though they're not. These users will yell and scream at other users who they believe are breaking rules, telling them not to break said rules. They will often call on the real moderators and tell them how to deal with the supposed rulebreaker. These users are probably 10-15 years old and have a bit of a superiority complex.
These users think they mean well, but are actually just a giant pain in the ass and act as though the real moderators are incompetent. This often involves freaking the fuck out over the SLIGHTEST breach of the rules - or often when there is NO breach of the rules.
Often, the user is simply trying to get promoted to being an actual moderator. But what happens 99.9% of the time is that they get banned themselves. What is 110% certain, however, is that this user will NOT be promoted.
