When you are a moderator, every decision will annoy someone. If you leave it, then the complainers will be irked. If you remove it, then the posters will be irked. And either way, some non-involved posters will like it or hate it. So I think you have to use the old brain-pan and just do what you think is best. If enough people don't like it, eventually they will give you the boot. If all goes well, they won't ask you to do it again, and you will have the best of all worlds, ;-)
