Can somebody provide a explanation of the meaning of the term モロ as used in
the phrase 「モロです」? I see references describing もろ/モロ as an adverb meaning
"completely" or "totally" but that doesn't seem to be the sense of the word
being used here.

Example sentences gleaned from the web:

1) 「先生! モロです！」 (in reference to an element of a drawing that is mildly
scurrilous and presumably is unacceptable)

2) 「いきなり異動にモロです！」

From the above, I infer that the meaning is something similar to ダメ or いけない
but it would be nice to have a more solid definition. My thanks to anyone who
can help!

Meaning of Japanese slang phrase「モロです」?
This もろ comes from もろに and it means "directly" or "head-on." It's a slangy
word. More contexts are needed to tell what these example もろ are supposed to
mean. But the first one sounds like the drawing is exposing something which is
not supposed to be exposed (" _directly_ exposed").
