A moderator who loses interest in moderation, upon reflection of their position, decides to step down, but later regains their taste for mod work and is reappointed. This happens several times as their whims fluctuate.
A moderator who loses interest in moderation, upon reflection of their position, decides to hold their position and do enough work throughout their time in power to avoid losing the position, which arguably gives them no room to reinvoke any desire to work properly again.
And I'd help with moderation whenever I'm asked. Because I owe it to this site. Even if I have to take attacks and misconduct while doing it. I don't do it right now because the administrator doesn't need my service. There are better people doing it.
And btw, huge difference between enjoying being a mod (everyone will at the start) and enjoying modding. Modding is at best a good time killer. Most mods enjoy being a mod even when they're modding at the start, but modding itself I doubt it.
Else we would see people actually consistently doing those 100 reports a week
And I was the best mod.find me one mistake. I was flawless. Not even a single overturn. And with I was always thorough. Don't go around sowing lies out of grudge. Speak with backing.and I didn't do it for enjoyment. The site was in need of mods.
Most mods are moderating because they enjoy the power. They don't care about the site at all. As administrator I'd never have any such mod who does it just for enjoyment. If you enjoy it, don't call it a service and don't expect special treatment.

wise words from someone who was one of the worst mods to exist.
