The problem with this approach is human nature. If you save the world and then fart once in public, nobody will remember you as "the hero that saved the world". You'll be forever remembered as Mr. Fartman. And the same applies to any group of people. Being a mod doesn't make you a good mod, not even a good person; you're bound to have a few piece of shit moderators, like awkwardtheturtle, godofatheism, millionsofcats, bardfinn and the likes. And when you remember "the mods" you'll remember those farts, and end blaming the rather decent big majority, who silently does their mod duties for the best of their communities. I sympathise with _those_ moderators.
