#4469: Mark as Spammer

-------------------------+-----------------------------
 The user experience for marking spam accounts is degraded in version 1.6:
 - The number of steps to mark a user as a spammer has increased. Each
 click-step requires a page reload, which further slows down the
 administrative process.
 - There are no other Capabilities currently presented, so it seems
 premature to have a single option in that screen to spam users.
 - The option 'This user is a spammer' is described as a Capability,
 which, metaphorically, seems broken. Being a spammer seems more like an
 account role or status.

 By comparison, it is a lot easier to delete accounts. However, spam
 accounts are common in BuddyPress, so having an Admin Bar menu option to
 Mark as Spammer is more useful and expedient.

 '''Proposed:'''

 1. Revert to pre-1.6, with Mark as Spammer directly available from
 AdminBar when in User Profile. Changeset [1801] has historical method of
 marking users as spammers.
 1. Include option directly under Edit Member, or as a menu flyout option
 under a new Account Status submenu.
  * So: AdminBar > Edit Member > Set Account Status > {(Not) Spammer |
 Delete}.
  * Replicate this in the Account Settings tab (changing Delete Account to
 Account Status, and present Mark (Not) Spammer and Delete actions).
