Mods start out as the spawn of single mothers and deadbeats. They then spend their formative years being unloved by their mother and mocked and belittled by their peers due to their total lack of redeeming qualities. As they age, they are drawn to online "relationships" where they can play pretend that they aren't the complete waste of oxygen that everyone knows them to be IRL.

Eventually, the chip on their shoulder from being universally hated combines with their aversion to touching grass, and they seek out power in the only places they can qualify. Since they are terminally online and have no skills that would pay them to be in charge of something, they have to resort to moderating forums. They don't mind doing it for free since their compensation is that they get to have their revenge on the type of people who made fun of them as kids. They get off to banning these people while rubbing their two inch girldick with glee. They then cry themselves to sleep and get up to do it all again the next day.

Edit: tldr - mods aren't picked or elected. They are born and bred for a single useless purpose.
