Obviously I wasn't quite being clear. My bad.

It's nothing to do with us having a 'right' to remove problematic content. User profiles are personal things, and we don't like editing them unless there is a substantial reason to do so.

We can't allow any old user to edit or blank a user profile at will. Just think of all the issues it would cause - especially if the owner of the profile were then to complain. Blanking of content pages is considered vandalism, and the same is true of user profiles.

In this particular case, the user DoReply has not committed any vandalism on Central. So, the blanking of their profile by you due to an issue on another wiki doesn't really cast you in a good light to the passing admin.

To make it clear, I'm trying to get at you or anything. It's all water under the bridge at the end of the day. So long as you acknowledge that admins or Staff need to be told of issues with user profiles so that they can look at them, then that's fine.
