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.

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.
Example of Mod abuse
Poster 1: Makes a detailed post on say reddit highlighting why they are against Aragon being reimagined as a black man.
Forum mod: Deletes post and makes up some bs that it is "low effort"
Poster 1: Ask forum mod for an explanation. (Gets no reply)

When mods of a Discord server troll people in a way that is technically not against the rules.
Example 1:
> "Jab just gave me the 'go to ultrakill land' role, now I can't talk except in the #ultrakill channel!"
> "It's legal mod abuse so you can't complain about it."
Example 2:
> "Why do muted users get locked out of the server but can talk in that one channel?"
> "It's so mods and other people can make fun of them, it's legal mod abuse."
Example 3:
> "my nick has been changed to 'short people fucker' what the hell"
"i can't change it either"
> "legal mod abuse moment"
