How to treat bogus profile?

This profile https://www.geni.com/people/HRH-Prince-Kieren-Muire-Von-Drakenberg/6000000024378269654?from_flash=1&fsession_id=1446886177859&through=6000000024378135568 seems to me to break at least two rules.

1. A false aristocratic title (the profile contains a link to a private website http://kierenmuir.weebly.com/my-ancestry.html that attempts to justify this assumed ancestrial title but suffice it to say I wasn't convinced).

2. Using the Overview/About tab to advertise personal genealogical services.

I attempted to report the profile and discovered someone else has already Reported it. However, nothing appears to have been done to follow up on this profile as the owner is actively making revisions/edits on a regular basis. Is it within the remit of a Curator to disable the profile (I notice there are some options i.e Block User and Remove bound email addresses that suggest they are a means to disable activities but have no obvious guidelines that define their use or purpose.
