An internet virus. A very little man, probably the spawn of J. Edgar Hoover with Cromwellian tendencies of stamping out opposing views on internet forums and chat rooms and rewarding sycophants. He's long given up the stakeout, the binoculars and the wire taps in favor of online activities behind the scenes. The more banal the website topic or thread, the crueler his tactics and iron fist becomes. His past is riddled with rejection, inability to hold a job or maintain friendships. And this arena, or "forum" is precisely the drug he needs to fulfill his illusions of grandeur and the taste of power over others. Avoid him at all costs and find "real" humans to talk to, not avatars on a computer screen. Urban Dictionary

1) a sane person; 2) someone with a political belief that sits between the two extremes of liberal and conservative, usually combining aspects of both (example: liberal on social issues yet conservative on economic issues); 3) someone who seeks compromise on political issues and as such gets insulted by the two extremes who just don't get the idea that this form of government survives by compromise; 4) someone whose political beliefs seem quiet and mild, and as such always ignored by the media, which seeks out people from the screechy Left and shrill Right because they make for better sound bites. Urban Dictionary

A man or woman typically between the ages of 16-36 who essentially 'maintains' forums, chat rooms, games, and other forms of internet media. Depending on the administrator's discretion, a moderator is given special perks that allow them to gain power over normal users. Enforcing the rules and warning/kicking/banning users are among the most common perks given to moderators. Unless it is a moderator gap period, at least one of these people will be online consistently to monitor the activity within a given community. Moderators range from super friendly to super strict and everywhere in between. Here are some of the most common types of moderators: Mr. Whatever: This type of moderator doesn't really know how he/she even became a moderator in the first place, but they are one nonetheless. They mostly ignore their job unless in the presence of higher-ups. Often looked down upon by the other moderators. Sometimes possesses traits similar to Sir Social. Sir Social: This type of moderator is usually liked by the majority of the community. He/She often treats everyone as equals, and fully engages with everyone, even offering advice to struggling users if needed. Sir Social is known to be very lenient. The Rules Guy: The average moderator. A few warnings then punishments as needed. That's it. As long as you follow the rules, you won't be on his/her bad side. (Continued in Example) Urban Dictionary

A guy/girl in charge of censoring/editing a certain part of a site some are a-holes, some are awesome, and some use invisibility mode so you cant tell what the hell they are some, still, are kissups to admin... hate these guys!! Urban Dictionary

Assholes in a chat room who are on a total egotistical power trip. Like to think they are smarter than you. Generally have health issues of some kind. The admin and her minions work together as an eerie team. They won't hesitate to clique u and treat you like shit. Nasty folks who hate themselves in real life who need to feel like they can control others and issue "warnings". Will be totally inconsistent and call you out for the shit they do, hypocrites. Generally dominant and like to do most of the talking. There will be one mod who is nice, one who doesn't give a shit and just wants to pick up girls, and another who is an attention whore who uses the role solely to get some. The admin will tell the board she's leaving then return all to get some drama going. The most annoying fucking humans you will ever not meet. Should be dipped in gold, then left in a museum. If they don't like you, watch out. Urban Dictionary
