It would better and easy enough to allow users to set their profile to private, but allows mods/admins access to user profiles. If there are some mods going through a trial phase or whatever, then maybe it’s something that could be selected by an admin or create another mod type that has the authority to allow a mod access.

That's a good idea, I had thought of that, but anyone can be a moderator by making their own sub, unless you limit it to a user's contributions visible to only the specific sub(s) of a mod. That'd make it a little harder because the spammers often spread it over several subs but I suppose it'd be workable.

Maybe give all mods access to all user history across all subs, but don’t allow new users to create a new sub or be a mod until they reach a certain age on their user account (6 months?) and/or upvotes on either/both options.
