The mistaken belief that one is still "technically" a virgin, despite having engaged in activity that is medically defined as sexual intercourse. This delusion can be caused by either denial or misinformation regarding what sexual intercourse actually is.
This delusion is most common amongst females, but is sometimes observed in males. Usually, a strong sense of regret, anxiety, or religious obligation leads the individual or individuals to invent excuses (either before or after the act of sex) that redefine their activity as something that doesn't quite constitute sex.
Common excuses include, but are not limited to:
-If the male did not ejaculate, or if he "pulled out"
-If the female also did not reach orgasm
-If the length of the intercourse was less than a given amount of time
-If only the tip of the penis was inserted as "experimentation"
-If one or both of the individuals was intoxicated and "was not making good judgments"
Some incidences of denial are so extreme that the individual will afterward claim that he or she was raped, when in reality the sex was consensual, in order to remove themselves from the responsibility of having lost their virginity.

Similar to the collective unconscious, collective delusion impacts all of humankind today via religion, politics, media and society.
Barb: can you believe Trump is getting away with this craziness?!
Jude: it's all due to collective delusion, Barb.

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.
