This article is part of the Wiki series: MSDN/TechNet Forums.

This article explains how to flag or report a user account that you see in any TechNet or MSDN tool, including:

• TechNet Wiki
• Forums
• Blogs
• Gallery/Samples
• Library Annotations

You might want to flag an account that is abusing the system in the following ways:

• Inappropriate name, rude, or are using crude words
• Spam account (the account's only purpose is to advertise)
  • NOTE: Do not confuse this with users who link to their sites or blogs. This is when a post is clearly off topic and clearly only exists to advertise an unrelated Web site.

To Flag a Forum Post as Abusive

You might need to flag a specific post as inappropriate (rude, button pushing, etc.) or as spam. But it isn't clear that the account should be banned (this is most cases). 

1. In the bottom-right corner of any forum post (including the original post for the thread), click Report As Abuse. This opens a drop-down menu.
2. Click one of the options. If you're unsure, it doesn't matter too much which one you pick.
3. Make sure you clearly explain the reason for reporting the post.
