i know i could take some special characters or just add "." etc, but im curious if omni will ever do a cleanup of accounts which arent active for nearly 3 years? (not to mention that this guy has 5 posts)

He has posts so he likely won't be pruned.
I have been waiting for an account that has been banned since 2007.

I don't think a username clear up will happen in a long time.

Accounts like that get pruned every once in a while. I got the original Cloudy from pruning. It happens, you just have to wait.

Only accounts with 0 posts get pruned. Given that that account is neither of those things, you're not going to see his account deleted.

Hell no. Don't even ask. If it's a zero post member you can wait till the account is pruned but don't ask us to delete an individual account for you. Even if it has one post from 2 years ago and they've never returned we will not delete the account just so you can have a username.
