It's a word not a meme.
First, a need for a moderator is realized in a specific section, Theymos then looks over people's report history, as people who report posts and have a decent ratio of good:bad reports show that they understand the forum rules. After that, he will contact the best candidate to ask if they would like to become a mod. If you choose to accept, you then have to pass a written exam. If you score high enough, then is on to the physical portion. All of the moderators circle you with oak planks and beat you about the head and chest. If you are able to stay on your feet after 2 minutes, you are then able to pass to the mental section of the test. We find the most infuriating people to assault you verbally. Keep in mind there is no holding back. If you have any shameful secrets, they will come out, and no one that you know or care about is off limits. If you have not snapped, you are a "Plebian" a "junior" moderator accepted into the circle who must triumph over a few more tasks before you are finally ready to get the Staff title, and become a publically known moderator. Each task is different, some times its as easy as fighting a lion using only non carbon based materials. Sometimes you have to break into fort knox (thats my favorite one), or maybe prove the existance of extraterrestrial life, or solve the world's monetary issues. Once done with your task, you will emit a faint glow, and your limbs are now able to grow back. You are now a full fledged moderator.
Sorry I couldn't help myself, everything before the "If you choose to accept" is the real answer.

Thanks for the help? Now maybe I should report your post as spam...
Me fascist? Me Pig? Um no, more like an anti-fascist bacon eater.

Sounds about right. But it would probably be in a slightly different order. And scammers/spammers doing most of the above Sorry I couldn't help myself, everything before the "If you choose to accept" is the real answer.
When I all read this I think the fastest way is to begin an own forum and make yourself a mod.
Okay, mr. smart mouth.

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
I can just PM theymos asking to be a mod?
If there is need for a local mod. Mitchell became mod by PMing theymos.
sometimes it's just because a certain person has expressed an interest in moderating the board (either by their actions, or by "applying"), etc..

Report as many posts as you can. If there is a need of a staff, you will be choosen as patroller at first, most probably. Then you may get promoted as mod of a board.
For local boards, PM theymos. He may make you one if there is a need for one.
Edit: From above link,

Edit: From above link,
Good report history, posts and actions that show you understand forum policy, activity (and when you are active could also play a part in it, mods at certain times could be more needed than others), etc. Being a good poster or trustworthy doesn't mean one would make a good moderator.
Finding mods for foreign language boards presents unique challenges, so there's no real set way to go about that. Sometimes it's by polls, sometimes it's just because a certain person has expressed an interest in moderating the board (either by their actions, or by "applying"), etc. It tends to be a more community driven decision, because acting like you know someone because you used google translate on their posts is dumb (though foreign language mods do need to be able to communicate with us in english).
