Someone who wants to be an administrator, with all accompanying godlike powers, but is incapable or unwilling to learn the required coding skills and hygiene required for office coexistence. A moderator is usually unemployable as such, and thus spends his/her time policing bboards, multiplayer games and chatrooms pretending to be important and useful, instead of actually doing the work to do so in real life. This massive waste of time, if accumulated over years, results in a very large ego within a body in very poor health and physical condition, culminating in social disorders.
"My name is Dragon Wind Unicorn Rainbow Queen Of All Furry MUCKS, and I am moderator of the Dragon Wind Unicorn YiffYiff bboard/RPG chatroom/blah blah/jargon jargon and part-time mod on *chan. I may weigh 375 pounds in real life and live in a room full of rubbish and cat turds, but my character is a Minyun Hentai Teen Dragon black belt samurai transsexual pornstar in +50 armor and she is a merciful destroyer of all trolls except those who beg for mercy."

Neither liberal nor conservative. Contrary to popular belief, does NOT imply a political affiliation or lack thereof; someone with no political party is considered an Independent, but can still be very conservative or very liberal. A moderate is merely someone who isn't conservative enough to be on the right, and isn't liberal enough to be on the left. Another popular (and incorrect) belief is that moderates just can't make up their minds. That's as untrue as it gets; I am an independent moderate myself, and I have no trouble making up my mind. I'm just considered moderate because, for example, I am against both abortion AND capital punishment. The former is a conservative view, and the latter is a liberal view. Therefore I am moderate.
I'm moderate because I have beliefs that overlap liberalism and conservativism, NOT because I don't belong to a party, and NOT because I can't make up my mind! Go screw a tree you asses.

Moderators are assigned to "moderate" something which means they are in charge of seeing that it does what it is supposed to do and nothing more.
Most moderators are driven mad by their lust for power and will cause suffering and hatred at every turn because it makes them happy to see others unhappy.
What the other definitions here leave out is that moderators aren't just for forums or websites. There are moderators of sorts in games, chat rooms and many other places. All of them are nerdy teenages who get back at life for making them monsters by taking their anger out on anyone they can.
I used to play a really cool MUD called Moongate until the moderators(caleed immortals for some gay reason) went mad with power, changed the name of the game and banned me for trying to report a bug. Losers.

Egotistical little pricks who delight in denying Urbandictionary definitions and Grouphug confessions. See also queer
I tried to make a halfway decent contribution to society and I got rejected by those damn moderators at Urbandictionary. Though they prefer the title "editors", because they like to feel for once as if they aren't insignificant retards.

A person who gets to make fun of bleeding hearts and knee-jerk cryptofascists at the same time.
Yeah, you got your conservatives and your liberals, but how do you actually get anything done without the moderates making the deals?
