Reporting someone for username or e-mail, not their post?

by John.Wilkinson / June 22, 2005 2:28 PM PDT

How would someone go about reporting someone for an obscene username (for instance, the new member cuteharleyb****) or for sending nasty e-mail through the link in a profile? I know that both are against Cnet policies, but as far as I know, it is only possible to report an offensive post.

Thanks,
John

click "offensive post"

on a post by,(for instance, the new member cuteharleyb****) and complain to the mods -i believe Lee Koo gets the alerts too.

as for the email problem, either ignore it, or, on a post from the member who sent it, click "offensive post" and copy and paste the email into the box -again, Lee Koo will get a copy...

hope this helps

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
