This is correct.
As someone who has run forums for a number of years, I can honestly say I've fired 70% of the volunteers for exactly that reason. They wanted to impress their clique and use the power. In reality, it is more about using that power as little as possible except for things that might create a legal issue. (i.e. DMCA)
The other 30% I got rid of were due to activity. (i.e. Would go inactive for 30+ days without notice)
