The mod delusion occurs on internet forums, usually during heated debate about a given subject matter, where the moderators are actually engaged in the discussion, rather than sitting on the sidelines tight-lipped, as forum members seem to expect them to remain.
A forum member (usually one with a lower than average IQ) who is unable to accurately express his opinions, and/or who is clearly losing the argument, essentially breaks off from the logical reasoning, and claims one of several unrelated things - that the forum is run by power-hungry moderators, that the given moderator is a bad example of his role, or simply that its not fair…
The member fails to appreciate that a moderator is himself a member, and entitled to his opinion, and that (unless he is secretely editing the members posts) he is not abusing his position in any way by expressing them. The member is instead making himself look like a petulant child who is throwing his toys out of the pram because he is being outsmarted.

the best type of moderator in the entire internet, these guys are very hard working, they have to reverse vandalism in wikipedia, the largest encyclopedia in the world, these guys get all the bitches , no fucking doubt, they write articles about something which can take lots of hours of research to just write one line of text, they have to moderate images in wikipedia too, they have to make sure it's appropiate, helpful and accurate, without a doubt, they are the most based out there
wikipedia mod: hey i moderate for wikipedia
a hoe: HOLY SHIT PLEASE DATE ME YOU ARE SO BAD AND COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111111
