Combination of "moderator" and "megalomania"
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.

"That moderator banned me for disagreeing with his political opinions. He's in the advanced stages of moderatorlomania."
Mod: "Another word from you and it's BAN!"
Me: "Uh oh, moderatorlomania!"

The effect of being in a moderator echo chamber for so long you can only see people in two groups:
Those who suck up to you and assholes.

Large snorlax is currently arguing with people on twitter with his moderator syndrome in full effect. Poor his block list.

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.
Dude,I just got modded for off topic posting because I posted about the Eevee Tamagotchi on the Pokemon Let's Go Eevee boards, even though the Fortnite topic on the Smash Boards is still up. Gamefaqs Moderator's are the worst.

Get the R/FoRmuLA 1 MoDeRaToR mug.Impotent idiots who don't even know how to run GameFAQs. Heck even a monkey can run a better site than them. You can compare them to a country that is run by a dictator. There are actually smart moderators, but most moderators are just corrupt and ignorant.

Get the GameFAQs Moderator mug.One of the most corrupt, hated, and incompetent people on the message boards and on the Internet. They sometimes mark and even ban users for the most ludicrous of things; and commonly bend the rules(i.e. adding something to a ToS rule), to suit their needs. It's usually no use contesting a moderation, as you'll probably receive some asinine reply saying that you're somehow wrong in your explanation.
Sensible poster: The stereotype of black men always going to jail is retarded.
*Poster is placed on warned status for supposedly breaking the offensive material rule.*
Before I continue, let me show the offensive material section of the ToS here.
Offensive Material-Users may not transmit or encourage others to transmit material or links to material considered patently offensive in nature. This includes, but is not limited to using vulgar, profane, or sexually explicit language; using race, religion, sexual orientation, culture, ethnicity, handicap, nationality, or gender as a means of insult; using threatening, harassing, defamatory, hate-speech, or libelous language; and posting, requesting, or otherwise sharing material considered pornographic, obscene, graphic, or hate speech.
Let's continue...
Contest: This is in no way offensive to anyone or anything. Using the word "retarded" is not against the rules if it doesn't fit that category.
Corrupt GameFAQs moderator: Using "retarded" to negatively describe anyone or anything (including anyone within or outside of GameFAQs, inanimate objects, or even something intangible) in any way, shape, or form is considered a severe ToS violation.
If you haven't noticed, the moderator here added the "intangible" crap to the rule; something that wasn't there. Anyone with a brain knows that a stereotype is not an object. You've seen the corruption for yourself.
