Reform voters are for values without moderation (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overrates

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'values without moderation' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to thinking as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'reform voters are' is the wordplay.
'reform' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in a new form).
'voters'+'are'='votersare'
'votersare' is an anagram of 'OVERRATES'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overrates that I've seen before include "Makes too high an estimate" , "Values too highly" .)
