How to ban a user?

[dan sh]

I just found a member profile[^]. Is there a way one can report a user?

Avoid Google. Use Blackle[^]

Hit [Report Message] near the right bottom of the message that is offending. P.S.: You can initiate this discussion in 'Suggestions and Bug Reports' forum for a speedier and expedited investigation and action by CP Team.

Thanks. But does that reports a user or that particular message? I think the message. Anyways, I will report all messages.

It flags the offensive message to CP Team for further indepth investigation. When there are repeat offences, these individual droplets ("reports") would contribute to an ocean ("investigation"). However, if you feel that the user is simply nagging and has already become terminally ill and carcinogenic, you may need to manually bring to the attention of CP Team by indicating in 'Suggestions and Bug Reports' forum.

Or a mentally deranged hysteric amuck skunk who is busy ransacking his keyboard?

If you feel a message is abusive/inappropriate, click the Report link. If you feel a user should be banned, let the admins know by posting in the Suggestions forum.

Cheers, Vikram.

Are you not annoyed with such "I found a troll" posts which seem to have increased lately? It's pissy, if you ask me. [Fixed post]

Such "new troll found" posts seem to have increased in the lounge lately. :| Please use the "Report message" for abusive/crap messages and use the Suggestions forum to report trolls, or email Chris, if you actually want something to happen.

And makes you smell fishy of the type of user/user activity.

This can be used only if the particular user is really really amuck. Other than that posting in 'Suggestions' should bring the topic to his attention. Else, it would be an unnecessary bothering him for reasons which are very trivial.

Little gibberish messages can be take care of by voting itself right. More number of '1' vote, as it gathers, can prey on the message clearing it up. :)

no ! definitely not in the suggestion forum (the boards are already flooded enough with thread incriminating bad users). directly mail Chris (Chris _AT_ codeproject.com) instead.
