You can vote for everyone, but it is advised to not vote for users who seem to be unreliable by inactivity or by editing just for powers. It is your responsibility, since these users later have powers and thus also an increasing influence on the administration of the wiki. With every round you have to be more critical, since a rollback has only very limited powers while a chat mod already has the power to ban users from chat and administrators and in particular bureaucrats have very advanced rights and lot of influence on the administration. A good rollback is not necessarily a good bureaucrat. I think this is exactly like a democracy: all people have the right to vote, but with this also the responsibility to vote a competent and reliable government. And people who are inactive or only edit for powers are rather unreliable.
