Why is there no option for reporting messages sent by other users? Unless I’m just missing it. I was able to report the relevant thread, but that seems an odd way to do it. It was just spam, but it got me wondering why this wouldn’t be an implemented feature, especially with messages from new users - this one in particular only had 1 post; I thought you had to have at least ten or so to send messages?
Under your post, there is a word “flag”. Hit that…and a text box will appear. Complete the text box with your report and submit. That is how you report problem posts.
For problem private messages, I cut and paste the message and PM it to a moderator.
I know how to report posts, and have done so before, I just find it odd that there’s no built-in way to report messages, and that users with only one or two posts are able to send messages, when it [was once only restricted](Does this message mean my private message wasn't sent? - College Confidential Community - College Confidential Forums) to those with fifteen or more posts.
@undeustroiscat, the 15-post rule went away when the site changed. We have requested that it be reinstated, with no luck.
I’m curious - is this a second account for you? You joined April 11, but the site changed more than a year and a half ago.
