I can neither confirm nor deny that statement.

So what is true?
That you have to be at least 18 and a member of good standing in the community (normally for at least six months), and that @jdcannon is in charge of mods and any complaints should be directed to him. Pretty much everything else is a joke.
Mostly what we do is enforce site rules, help members (although we can't generally help with technical issues), and squash abusive behaviour. We're unpaid volunteers (although we do get free premium membership), so we're doing it in our free time. Most of us have other jobs; I'm a software developer in the financial industry.
Different moderators focus on different areas. Some mods are most active in the main forums. @LegoPirateSenior and I run the Cheating Forum. Others focus on ChessTV chat.
Can I sign up?

On the contrary. Tamed trolls make the best moderators.

Hi mgleason can you please stop sending me club invites. Chess.com won’t let me block you, so I have no way of stopping these annoying invites. Thank you very much fine sir.

Sorry, I'm sending out 30 Untitled Tuesday invites a day, and I can't remember who all I've already invited. I've asked for it to automatically track who I've invited and avoid spamming people (and wasting invites on people who already rejected it), but that hasn't been implemented yet.
I will try to remember not to invite you again.
You can also block club invites altogether in your privacy settings: https://www.chess.com/settings/privacy

Careful what you wish for.
Once you become a moderator, there are a lot of advantages of course. You can delight in informing on, provoking and hounding your fellow members from multiple accounts, like never before. You will not be sanctioned.
But all this comes at a price. The pleasure of eating forbidden fruit will be gone. The romance of the highwayman lost. You will have become an eunuch in a harem. Unable to enjoy what is laid bare before you.
There will be no risk attached. No risk = no adrenaline.
No, you don't understand. The best perk of being a mod is the deep respect and appreciation we feel from members like you. Sometimes it's carefully disguised - you don't want everyone to know about it, after all - but we feel it all the same.
Nice!
