Can someone explain to me what the heck it is? I have gotten three different examples and i am not sure which one is right? Is it controlling characters that are not your own or what?

1) Dictating other players' responses
Swinging a punch and telling the other player that they are down, that they are unconscious, cut, dead or whatever. In sexual roleplay, it might mean dictating someone else's level or signs of arousal.
2) Impossibility
Drawing a knife when your hands are tied. Pulling a bow out of your rectum when you're on the ground and hogtied (I wish I were making this up). Drawing a bow out of your rectum at all, come to that. Being held by the hair and with a knife at your throat but whizzing round and slapping your captive and disarming them.
3) Just plain silliness
Taking the plot to asinine turns purely to avoid your character having to suffer a misfortune too weak for your manly fictitious self. Being shot at and deflecting the bullet with a penny on a string so that it flies back up the gun nozzle. Again, I wish I were making this up.
4) Anything that is used to let one character force the plot and does not enable the story to be a properly collaborative effort with plausibility.

lol that is helpful. so an example: This was getting crazy, especially when the wind picked up and lifted Giselle off the ground. (not picking on anyone random example) is not considered godmoding. So pretty much in words, its making your characters more powerful and not giving your character the chance to fight back

Yes. Not only that, but demanding other characters around. Dictating what they do. Like if you're on a date and someone actually types as your character and shows their reactions, without your permission.

No problem. I was once in an LJ rp and the ADMINS godmodded. It was horrible.
