Another quick suggestion...add a report button on profile preview

Well, sometimes we'd like to help mods reporting some profiles, but some of them are smart enough to use privacy to protect their asses. So, we can't report because when we try to do so, this screen appears:

---

Without that privacy, I'd just click on this report button on their profile. Sometimes it's more relevant than just reporting a specific post, because there are profiles repeatdely infringing rules and I like to mention on my report that ''please, check his recent activity as a whole'' instead of just reporting a specific message to be deleted.

Sometimes there are multiple problems with their profiles, not just a unique post possibly infringing some rules.

---

So, I'd like to suggest mods to add a REPORT button on profile preview.

So we can report members without entering on their profiles. Faster.
It would also avoid this privacy loophole being used to avoid reports.



Ah, and this guy is reviving old posts from years ago to promote his signature space. If not, he has turned a bot on and started posting irrelevant answers in old threads, that's why I'd like to report his profile, but unfortunately he's using this privacy loophole, which also works to avoid a general report against his profile.

But it's just an example, several profiles with bad intentions are benefited from that, so that's my suggestions for today.

You can always report one of their posts and ask us to have a look at their profile.

None of us minds going the extra step in handling a post-report and checking the profile as well; in fact, some of us do that anyway if it looks too wonky.

I have one more suggestion for the profile, too.

Some members use star emojis in their location bio.
When you hover over their profile, you will see these stars, which look like reviews of their selling or buying activity.
Which is some manipulation.

For example, these two banned members used these tactics:

https://www.blackhatworld.com/members/1688306/
https://www.blackhatworld.com/members/1815059/

Is it possible to disable this feature with emoji stars?
If I remember correctly, @Venusaur had a similar suggestion in the past.

This is a decent suggestion, credits for @Rufai who suggested it a few weeks ago

@Venusaur As relates to adding a report button on profiles, we will raise this during next week's staff meeting. As @BassTrackerBoats states, if we can't install such a button then the best thing to do is report any post of theirs and state what your report is about. I know you already do this but for anyone else reading, this is the best way to alert us about a member in general. But we'll discuss it.

@ivo1017 This subject has been brought up relatively recently and we currently have no plans to legislate for this. Thank you for the suggestion though and if we receive any more notes on this we may look into it once again.

Thank you both for your suggestions!
