Suggestion: Add “Report Suspicious Account” Feature & Safety Disclaimer

Hi Mods,

Could we introduce a simple “Report Suspicious Account” feature so members can flag profiles for moderator review? Scammers often build legitimate-looking accounts over time (as seen on platforms like Reddit) before targeting users—especially in immigration, housing, socializing, and city forums. Unfortunately, these are exactly the areas where newcomers and vulnerable users seek help.

Currently, there doesn’t seem to be a direct way to flag a suspicious account for monitoring. A discreet “Report Account” option (separate from reporting individual posts) would help moderators proactively review patterns of behaviour before harm occurs.

Although its a common sense not to reveal personal details on public forums, it would also help to add a visible header disclaimer reminding members not to share personal details (name, address, email, phone, passport info, etc.) via private messages.

This would help keep the forum safer for everyone.
