Reporting a user

Options
Could we have a button in each member's profile that can be used for reporting them for spamming?

I've just followed a new member around because they're just spamming a board and I'm having to click on spam in each post they're making.
Would it not be more useful to have an option to report the member and thus all the posts ...? Or even in the 'report' options to have 'report member'.

    If you report the post and add the comment that their other posts are spam as well, then that achieves the same thing. The forum team will check their other posts when receiving the report.

    Alternatively send a link to the spammers user profile page to the forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com address via webmail/email, and say that they are a spammer.
