Becoming "spam-police" would require the privilege to close any account and hide/delete the account profile. This is not a privilege that I would like to hand out lightly to someone who likes being police, especially since over-eager "spam-police" have mis-identified genuine user profiles in foreign languages as spam in the past. For me, the nuisance presented by the occasional spammy user profile is not big enough to warrant handing over account deletion privileges to spam hunters, but I am happy to change my mind if someone can explain just how a spammy user profile is a problem for them. As I said, I get that spam diary entries or spam notes can be a problem because they actually pop up somewhere, but user profiles...?
