Some immediate issues come to mind: 1) There is not enough detail (in most cases) to make a follow/no-follow/block/spam decision. I'd like to be able to get more details about the user w/o visiting their profile page. 2) There should be a "block & report as spam" button. 3) There is still a "referral spam" incentive for spammer to follow everyone under the sun. IMO followers should not now up in the followers page publicly by default (or at least there should be an option for this). I don't want dozens of porn sites, gambling sites, get-a-million-follwers-a-day sites, etc. linked to from my followers page but with the current toolset, it is tedious to keep them off.
