Why would anyone want to be a moderator?
Are moderators just purely altruistic? Or do they have an ulterior motive?

@CaspianXI I've always been of the opinion that if something you want doesn't exist, go and do it yourself. That's why I've modded and continued to do so-- things don't just happen on their own.
I know there are some power trippers that just like to be the boss of things, but I'm assuming most are like me, who just want a happy and functional community to exist and thrive.
Beat me by fifteen minutes, lol. I was going to type something very similar.
Moderators should feel responsible for providing a safe space and enjoyable experience for the visitors and subscribers of their community. It's ungrateful work, but someone has to do it. Power trippers who just want to be in charge of something are rarely good mods.
