Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 This behavior is intended, but should be made better.

 This was geared towards open blogging planets (where sites could be
 created easily by anyone) so when a user signed up and created 100 spam
 blogs, a Super Admin could clean up the mess in one shot.

 I feel like these days, I almost never want that to happen.

 Same goes for the `notspam` action.

 Here's what I think is the best end result:

 * Change the default behavior to not do this anymore :X
 * Add filters to re-enable it if desired

 ----

 Specific to the attached diff, the `apply_filters( 'handle` pattern is
 only used by network-admin bulk-actions, so I would suggest different hook
 names.
