TOPIC: forums suggestion

Server Name: forums

Suggestion Title: report user profile

How would it benefit the server: make it easier for us to report users profile instead of having to go on steam or use contact us

Potential Issues/Exploits: might get abuse

Additional notes: it would help if i feel someone has a racist name or has inappropriate stuff on there profile and you wanna tell forum staff about it and non are online on steam or teamspeak you can just report there profile while on that users profile by clicking report user profile then leave the reason and stuff i feel it will be easier then having to copy there forums profile link then going to contact us because it saves us time

I completely support this. Its something that's been missing for a while

is this about me

Perhaps report trolls, anyway this is what forum mods are for but it wouldnt hurt i guess

Too easy to abuse!

In my eyes, there is no need for this, we already have two features that has the ability to report, we do not need another.

Also its more hassle for the owners as I don't think there is a feature in Kunena that supports a "Report User", I could be wrong though.

CTRL C.....

Also if you cannot link the profile just say what it is instead.

I'm pretty sure forum staff check user profiles. If a post is reported and a user has an inappropriate name or anything similar, I'm sure he'll get his punishment.
Also, what kind of computer can't copy shit? I've gone through a bunch of computers and mobile devices, at school, friends, whatever but I haven't seen a computer which can't copy a damn link lmao
