I reported the same issue here:

[https://meta.discourse.org/t/delete-spammer-on-admin-flags-doesnt-work-for-mods-if-show-email-on-profile-setting-is-turned-off/66785?u=osama](https://meta.discourse.org/t/delete-spammer-on-admin-flags-doesnt-work-for-mods-if-show-email-on-profile-setting-is-turned-off/66785)

In short, this is only an issue for moderators when the `show_email_on_profile` site setting is turned off which is the default.
