HOA MOD (n.): A moderator of a social media site, who uses enforcement of appearance rules as a tool to bully users and assert control over other people's words. Attacks are targeted, repeated, over-reaching enforcement of content rules against specific users, usually with a veneer of "nice" wording to give the attacks plausible deniability. An HOA mod values the appearance of peace and safety over truthful and open discussion, and will target users they view as "problematic."
