There is a difference between believing that the Mods care about the members and the mods actually acting in a manner that is beneficial to the community rather than to themselves. I was a mod for several years before being fired from that role. I saw plenty of mod activity where there was no deference paid to what was best for the community. Suggesting that it always happens that way is myopic at best.
