You need to be a SuperUser to have that power, not a mere Admin. Does
that carry too many extra abilities with it?

Because the ideal way to deal with more malicious users without
hampering the good users is to give community members the power to do
the work, so it doesn't fall to just Dimi.

(I'm highly familiar with this stuff on MediaWiki, so am trying to map
concepts from one onto the other, which is probably not a useful
approach.)
