Report Forum Users?

I just received a PM from someone asking a very 'spam' like question, is there anyway to report it?  It seems like the account might be fake or have been hacked.

  • Hello ruckus,

    there is a mods only group/forum
    thanks, but as it is mods only what can/should a mere user do? If I understand jdobiash correctly it's not about blocking PMs from unknown users (thus minimizing the chance of SPAM) but reporting dubious activity so that either others aren't also plagued by this user or the genuine owner can be informed of the compromise.

  • Agreed the moderators group is for mods only.  When we upgrade to the next version of the community platform I believe there is a flag user option (hence the process can be: get a PM from a spammer > go to their profile > flag as abuse > mod/admin reviews user like you can for a post on a thread).  For now I'd suggest the options of:

    • Post here in the Community chat group (as done)
    • Or PM a mod (as you suggested)
