Actually, userpages mustn't be treated like mainspace. True, the structure of it is the same, but the userpages are part of their privacy, and they are not admins on their userpages. If someone was to protect his page, he must go and call upon admin's help, but by the end, he will be unable to edit it.

Also @Dessamator, how is the userpages supposed to build a wiki? They are just designed to let people describe themselves and their intentions. And to add, protecting a userpage is not that thing that occures always, thus we don't have to care for obsession. Also, giving him a right to edit his own page won't prevent admins and content moderators (Wikia Staff or VSTFF as well) from reverting anything wrong he does. It is as simple as that, as the setting to make it only editable by sysop-like users should be kept too.
