Reform voters are for values without moderation (9)

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 definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'reform voters are' is the wordplay.
'reform' is an anagram indicator (letters in a new form).
'voters'+'are'='votersare'
'votersare' anagrammed gives 'OVERRATES'.

'for' acts as a 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" .)
