moderator balls 

The significant change in personality a forum poster gets shortly after he/she realizes the kind of authority they have after being ranked to a moderator status, enabling that individual to be aggressive and assertive instead of passive like they usually were before they had power.

Moderator: Cool it with the flaming, I've had enough out of you already. I'm about a hair's width away from locking this thread.

Forum poster: Someone's moderator balls have dropped recently.

Moderator syndrome 

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.

moderator's pet 

Someone who enjoys complaining that anyone has deviated from the main topic, being holier than thou, even to those posters who are old time regulars that choose to inject some humor that most everyone appreciates and responds to.

"Aiming for moderator’s pet? Lighten up, the group always has something funny to add."

"You're such a threadnag, get a sense of humor. Moderator's Pet."

"How long have you been humorless? If you spent less time trying to be moderator‘s pet, you'd see that his comment is relevant, it just went over your head."

“Being Moderator’s Pet will make you few threadfriends on here. Try again, without the threadnag attitude. “

GameFAQs Moderator 

The internet police force on the popular gaming website gamefaqs.com. The moderating staff is made up entirely of volunteer, unpaid members of the larger GameFAQs community, yet most of these volunteers treat their positions as if they're part of an actual cyber police force. The moderators are obsessed with flaunting their power whenever possible, dishing out a number of moderations on average that most forums don't even come close to approaching. GameFAQs moderators are also obsessed with maintaining their secrecy for whatever reason, hiding behind a system that allows them to give out moderations anonymously, so that they don't have to deal with disgruntled users. Overall, this gives the entire forum a "Big Brother Is Watching" vibe and results in mutual distrust between the regular users and the moderators, who act more like corrupt police officers than volunteer members of a message board community.

GameFAQs moderators are amongst some of the most biased, powerhungry and corrupt moderating staffs on the entire internet. Whereas many moderating staffs try to maintain healthy relations between them and their userbase, GameFAQs moderators seem more concerned with being an online dictatorship.
