I would also like to chime in regarding the need to flag a “user” versus a post or topic. We had 2 situations at Stonehearth (the first of which was a big part of the reason behind the request for staff controllable blocking), the second of which we used the new blocking feature, where the issue we found was with the user, not any specific post. The first issue was an inappropriate username, the second an inappropriate profile picture. While in both of those cases we flagged the post and used the “Something else” option to detail the issues, there was nothing wrong with the posts - in fact, both posts were actually useful reports of bugs! Edit: Seems that the descriptions for flags of a user might need to be a bit different, though. Not sure a user could be “off topic”, though inappropriate and spam could work with some rewording. I would suggest removing off-topic, rewording “It’s Spam” to “This user is a spammer”, and “It’s Inappropriate” to “This user’s name, picture, or profile information is inappropriate”. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/flag-user-profile-not-just-a-single-post/23392)._
