All I got is this from Jimbo Wales:
"Cory,
Reoving semi-protected tags when this article or articles is still protected that you're not allowed to do that is against Wikipedia policy.
There are reasons:
1. Wikipedians who kept removing semi-protected tags will be banned permanently from interactivity on Wikipedia.
2. If you're firing Brad Patrick (permanently), I'll get Donald Trump, and he'll fire you for bothering him.
Wikipedia enforces a zero tolerance policy in regards to wiki vandalism in Wikipedia. There is a possibilty that you will be banned from interactivity on Wikipedia if you continue to vandalize any wiki stuff. If you have questions, mailto:wikispeaker@gmail.com email me. It should be noted that replies to this email will go unanswered and your only course is emailing me!
--Jimbo"
In fact, they didn't request unbanning, in fact, you could get away with wiki vandalism, right? Then you say, "Oh, shit!"

Removing semi-protected tags when the article is still protected doesn't sound like it's a useful kind of editing. Why would you want to do that?
