mod

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'online supervisor' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'sulks removing 50% of content' is the wordplay.
'sulks' becomes 'md' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'removing 50%' indicates taking half.
'content' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters act as content for another word).
'of' cut in half is 'o'.
'md' placed around 'o' is 'MOD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mod that I've seen before include "Gaelic literary festival" , "Meeting of the Scottish" , "1960s teenager" , "Rocker's rival?" , "ministry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
