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.

Get the moderator mug.An armchair moderator is someone in a forum or chatroom on the Internet that isn't a moderator of the website, yet acts like one. Sometimes this is abbrieviated to "armchair mod". Usually armchair moderators long to be a moderator themselves, so they try to enforce the rules by telling people who break the rules to stop, and to enforce the rules that are usually already read when you enter the website.
Person 1: what up people
Person 2: stfu n00b
Armchair moderator: please refrain from using profanity or from calling anyone "n00bs", it's annoying and immature.
Person 1: I hate armchair mods
Armchair moderator: blacklisting is against the rules here.

When power goes to the head of a moderator of an online forum.
They start acting as though their intelligence, judgement and opinions are superior to non-moderators.
Common symptoms: talking down to people, patronising them, banning people who post opinions differing from their own, being cliquey with other moderators.

Get the Moderator syndrome mug.Powerhungry nerds who use only one criteria to determine if your post breaks the rules or not: Your accounts age. Anyone with an account over 10 years old can freely post homophobic bullshit on the politics board and be fine, however a user with an account that was just created will get banned for calling somebody a dum dum poo poo head. It's also against the rules to link this page on the site, as well as asinine crap like posting an ASCII art of Yoshi.
