Need a way to report accounts

I have seen several scammers setting up shop here, preying on members. I have no way to report them.

Edit: I mean accounts, not posts and comments. I have seen accounts that are obviously scam accounts and one which reached out to me directly via email after following me here. They haven't posted anything, so I can't report it. There should be a way to report a user via their profile page.

Its gonna be a constant battle Scott. We meet on this daily and tbh the correct path is probably just make a few of you (you would be one of them for sure) admins so you can wield, with responsibility and care... the ban hammer

True. I would be just, but stern 🙂

Well, mrmoney has got to go! https://www.arthelper.com/mrmoney

He posts comments as anonymous, but the notifications page shows it is he who made the comment.

Hi Scott! A profile-page Report User button is exactly the right ask — the current report flow on posts and comments misses the case where a scammer creates an account, doesn't post anything, and DMs people directly. Flagging this for the product team as a feature request.

In the meantime, if you have screenshots of the scam account and the email it sent, forward those to ArtHelper support directly. They can act on the backend even without an in-app report button. Scam accounts following a fresh-profile + immediate-outreach pattern are exactly what the moderation team wants to know about.
