Hi Hayden, That's not actually a mode. The term god-moding" is a generic reference used by gamers to describe anyone who reaches a level of invincibility that is unatural, unrealistic, or so powerful that nothing can possibly defeat the player character. In a way, it is as much an attitude as character attributes.
For example, let's say you enter all the cheat codes in to Shades of Doom. By doing so you would have top armour, invincible to monsters, the ability to walk through walls, fast walking, unlimited ammo, etc. Basically, all those attributes together is pretty much godlike since there is no way any monsters can beat the main character, and it is impossible to lose the game. That is "god-moding" in its worst form since you take on godlike invincibility. However, the term is often used in tabletop RPG games, because there are some players that have an unrealistic idea of what there character can or should be able to do in the game world. For example, let's assume you are playing a knight with some really good plate armour. I don't care how fast and strong you are you can't run fast, do flips, jump over chasms, etc as the weight of the heavy plate armour is going to drag you down. So naturally the weight should count against your dice roll and cancel out any ajility rating you have. Still, you'll be surprised how many people out there think they can have the best armour, best weapons, best of everything, and there is no reason why they can't run like the flash and jump over tall buildings like superman with all that gear. This is god-moding because the player has an over rated sense of his or her character's worth, and that they are superior at everything and anything they do. In other words, "spoiled sports." So like I said when you use the teleporter to restart the game is something like god-moding because you have all the good armour, all the good weapons, all the ammo you could want, etc but it isn't cheating. There is a chance you can get killed, and there are some cheats it doesn't activate such as fast walking, invincibility to monsters, walk through walls, etc. You still have to use some actual skill to win even with all that good armour and weaponry so it is not true god-moding.
