Special Project Assistants do not have a nickname. However, besides being called a Special Project Assistant, contributors in the program are called SPA.
Are The Initiates Program and Special Projects Assistants the same programs?
No. They are two completely different programs run by different people. The Initiates Program is run by WikiAnswers and a team of TIP Supervisors. While the Special Project Assistants is run by a volunteer Senior Supervisor. Missions given by TIP cannot be completed for SPA. Likewise, missions given by SPA cannot be completed for TIP.

How many contributions do you have to have to be a supervisor on WikiAnswers?
Generally, you don't become a Supervisor based upon on how many contributions you've made to Answers as far as answering questions, editing questions etc., you become a Supervisor based on your personality as far as how you treat others. You could also become a Supervisor a lot easier if you're in the Special Project Assistants program.
Can I be a member of the Special Project Assistants and The Initiates Program at the same time?
Of course you can. You can join as many programs as you like, as long as you reach their requirements. In fact, the more programs you're involved with and the more you actively contribute (within the guidelines), the more chance you have of impressing the Community Assistants who recruit Supervisors.

How can I help remove bad questions from this website and get them linked to 'What questions add no value to WikiAnswers' instead?
The best thing to help out is join a program that revolves around helping WikiAnswers such as Special Project Assistants, TIP, WIT etc., and people will be able to help as much as they'd like! As far as directing them to that - it's called trashing, and that's a supervisor's power. You are more than welcome to give them a direct link though, but I'd recommend to just flag the question and allow a supervisor to trash it to the correct Catch-All category.
