Hello,

I’d like to suggest a new feature for wpForo: the ability to report a profile in addition to the existing option for reporting individual posts.

On your forum, it’s sometimes possible to notice members displaying problematic behavior, such as excessive spamming or offensive messages. Currently, users and moderators need to report each post separately, which can be cumbersome when a member is repeatedly disruptive. The option to report a member’s profile directly would be an efficient way to alert moderators to problematic behavior without requiring multiple reports on individual posts.

This feature would also be useful for private messages. While users can already block a member sending inappropriate messages, having the option to report a profile would allow moderators to take quicker action if multiple reports come in about the same member.

Adding this profile-reporting option would significantly assist administrators and moderators in managing abuse while simplifying the process for users.

Thank you for your ongoing work on wpForo and for considering this suggestion.

Thank you for your answer.
I know this possibility, I specified that it was a button (link) for the profile, for example one on the profile page to report "the member" and not a publication.

For example, as in the example that I created in the attached file...

This forum itself is spammed regularly (including this topic in recent days...). I think the idea of ​​being able to report the profile would really be an advantage, after a certain number of reports it would be automatically blocked until a review by an administrator or moderator.

This is already on our to-do list, but it has low priority since the post report feature is more convenient for reporting. This way, forum admins can easily locate posts containing spam messages.
