Depends on the situation, like when trolls decided to attack SFW. Mak was the only mod on at the time, so we disabled it temporarily.

As for removing it permamently, if problems persisted then yes I'd put it up to a vote. Of course, I doubt I'd count people who ONLY use chat and don't actually contribute to the wiki, to avoid bias.
