It's not "hard" but it's a non-trivial amount of work.

First up we need a review/report queue, which probably needs to be 
polymorphic so we can report at least users, diary posts and diary comments.

It also needs to track which users have reported each item, so that a 
user can't report an item multiple times. An item which got enough 
independent reports could then be hidden temporarily pending review.

Then we need some UI to present that queue to the moderators so that can 
consider each report and either kill the user or cancel the report.

So as I say it's not hard, but it's more than just adding a button or a 
new privilege as some people seem to think.
