Is there a minimum 'vote' threshold, or if I'm the only person connected at a certain point in time, do I get free - albeit slow and insanely frustrating - control of the 'machine'?

No, but we are hoping the chat doesn't die down that much. We considered it, but ultimately didn't consider it necessary.

How will you react on people doing illegal stuff such as trying to setup up a spam server or downloading illegal things?

Why would the VM even need external network access? Let it have only LAN access to communicate key strokes and host a local mirror for pacstrap/pacman. Also limit the interface to only those two operations.

I'm afraid they'll manage to launch vim and will never be able to get out.

It's been awhile since a fresh install but is it ViM. is Vi still around? I just seem to recall some things not working right. Such as not being able to ZZ or ZQ out of a file.
