what is the meaning of mod？

[volkswageos]

can any one tell me the meaning of the mod?

Like 'DyDo' or 'NTW' mods?

It's short form of 'modification' - they change the game. DyDo changes the way computer players play, NTW adds new buildings...
Game + Mod = a bit different game

Barely. In 99,9% of the cases, when someone speaks about a mod, in the forums, it's about modifications to the game.

OK, true for this forum. That should probably have read.
In a forum mod can also mean moderator.

Oh yeah, that's true.

When people talk about moderators, they usually say "staff" or "devs".

Also: The OP is probably a spammer.

I thought that myself, for a series of reasons, like the "？" character, username, picture and question itself. The board is also unadequated...

Just wanted to make things more clear for the other posters and viewers.

I don't think it is clearer, how can you tell?
I also don't think it can be assumed that when people talk about moderators, they will use "staff" or "devs". It depends where they are from.

On second thought, I no longer think this person is a spammer. Did a few lookups on the signup information; it looks legitimate.

That's why I said "usually", and made no such assumption. There was also an implicit "I recommend one of those terms, so it will not be confused with 'game modification'."

Nope, that's just someone from China or so. It's much easier to read kanji then our bad english
