How can I report inappropriate private messages from another poster?

[ClayPotaLot]

Not sure if I'm just missing the button to click, but I can't see a way of reporting posters who are private messaging inappropriately. Is there one?

Are you using your mobile or the desktop site? If the latter, there should be three dots to the right of the message, which you use to report it.

(Sorry, can't help re mobile/app)

You can block that user, but I don't think there's a built in way of reporting them. The triple dots on the message has the Block User option.

Yes, the dots next to the message. There is also the function to disable private messages if you don't want them anymore.

I've reported your post to mnhq to see if they can help

Oh this is awful. I got one once from a man on mumsnet telling me to “watch my back” because his op was basically how to avoid paying cms

Hi there, @ClayPotaLot we have had a look and the poster we think you are referring to has been banned already so simply delete their PM.

Can't see any way to report when I click on the dots next to the message.

Thank you. But would still appreciate an answer to the question.

This is the answer to the question!

There is no "report" option, just Block User.

On their page about private messaging they say:

If you receive a private message that breaks our guidelines, please do report it to us at [email protected].

Go to your profile page, select private messages, click on the message, click on the dots to block user.

Hello @ClayPotaLot when you click on the three dots beside the individual message rather than the message box, you will see the option to report. This is because when you report, we need to see the message itself rather than just the user who sent it. Hope that makes sense.

I'm on my laptop. Unless you mean somewhere else, I don't see that option. Just Block User and Clear Chat.

No - you're looking for three dots right next to the specific message box.

Can you point out where those are? I only see two sets of three dots. The set next to the Private Messages title on the left side of the screen and the set on the right side that I’ve clicked on in the attached image that clearly does not give me an option to report.

Hello @ClayPotaLot thanks for sending the screenshots. It looks as though the private messages page may not be displaying correctly for you

While we look into this further, could you please try the following?

Reset your browser zoom to 100%.
Refresh the page.
Try opening the page in an Incognito/Private window, in case an extension is affecting the layout.
Try another browser, such as Safari, if you have one available.
Check Chrome is fully up to date by going to chrome://settings/help.

Is it the mad conspiracy theory one saying people are going to die?

Hi, just to clarify the 3 dots you're looking for are next to the specific message you want to report. From looking at your screenshot you'd have to scroll up slightly as it's such a long message.

Here's what you're looking for:

Thank you!

Have found the right set of three dots. Hardly use PMs so not as familiar with them as I could be. I had scrolled past them without seeing them because of the message length!

same message that I had
