Mod abuse
When a moderator or administrator abuses his (or her but let's be honest, it's usually a guy) powers to rule over other people and suppress their posts. Usually done by websites that promote bad moderation teams eg. GameFAQs.
Mod abuse
A forum, chat or discord mod who abuses their power. This is usually done by inconsistently targeting and singling out users that said moderator does not like or post they disagree with, all the while feigning that they are fair and impartial. Forum mods are generally cowards and will use the umbrella term such as "low effort", "trolling" or "Break of forum policy" as their reasoning for removal of users post or banning of a user. If said user ask a mod for more specific reason, they often do not answer or if they are really vindictive might insult said user or say refer to forum rules. Generally, these mods get off on feeling powerful and since they don't answer to anyone can get away with their behavior.

dead drop
A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
