This is something I argue with coworkers et al to no end: differential privileges are targets for privilege escalation!
From their perspective, they want the ability to ban/kick/etc as special powers; but from my perspective that feature is an exploitation target that's vulnerable to any unknown bugs, and probably in twitter's case, social exploitation.
I would _much rather_ see all users be equally powerful and find some means by which the services can be designed such that everyone can be comfortable and safe.
