The chat moderator user right is also a good step to take before users become admins. In fact, it has happened quite a lot on many wikis I am in, such as Encyclopedia SpongeBobia. You will also be unfairly demoting numerous users, and heavily affecting wiki staff teams. Although it might make trolling situations worse, that was the purpose of chat mods, so that users who didn't want to be admins could still be helpful with getting rid of trolls and issue specific chat warnings. In addition, I believe Community Builder failed due to not having chat.
