To me it felt like volunteering to keep the community running smoothly.
However it makes you an especially visible member of that community, especially to its worst elements. The constant hostility and eventually the harrassment made me step down.
Now I watch other moderators go through the same motions. People are absolutely vile to them, all over a tiny internet forum.

The problem with mods is that some of them behave badly enough and go on power trips banning people for their own enjoyment and making tantrums, thus giving a bad rep to the whole category, including those who are actually good people with sane principles.
