This feature is available on pretty much every large-scale social site out there. This helps a user flag a profile if it’s a spam account and it hasn’t posted yet. Perhaps a member uploads an inappropriate avatar or profile background image. Also, a member’s overall activity may come into question and not a single post. I’ve had all three of these cases happen to me, especially the last one. Because there was no feature to flag a profile, many problems were unreported to me until the creeping problem blew up and I had zero preamble since it was passively aggressively brewing in the background.. I found it’s easier for a member to click the flag, choose the reason and hit send so they don’t have to explain in actual text.

And then now I realize since I’m a basic user, I might not have access to this and this feature actually exists. If so, apologies. Don’t know but would like some clarity.
