Profile Report v0.1 - Yaldaram - 2012-02-23
The plugin allows your specified usergroups to report a user's profile. This may help to prevent profile spam.
Features:
- Ability to specify usergroups through their Usergroup Editing Page. (i.e. No AdminCP Configuration Setting)
- Ability to add reason for the Profile Report.
- Ability to perform various actions e.g. Editing his profile, banning, using good bye spammer tool or marking the report as cleared.
- A red notice appears in header whenever there is a new report, it shows only to admins though.
- The number of reports shown in the red notice.
Theory Behind The Plugin:
You may notice that spam is becoming worse day by day across MyBB forums. The human or non-human spam/bots try to spam your forum in many different ways. Some may use the profile fields to leave their spam website links or any other relevant data. The traces of spam links leaving behind works like a magnet to attract more spam bots to attack your website. So profile is one of hit-list for spammers.
This plugin allow specific usergroups to Report any of such profile with ease. However they're not able to report a same person twice. Also if a person is already reported then no one will report him/her again (Until you mark his/her profile as Clear).
You (as admin) can control various options such as;
- Ban the person.
- Edit the person's profile.
- Use the GoodByeSpammer tool on that person. (For this you must have to install GoodByeSpammer Plugin)
- If you think that reporting is just fake or the person is not a spammer then you'll simply Mark the Reported Profile as Clear.

Inside the .zip:
There are one plugin file in ./inc/plugins/ folder and 5 images in ./images/profile_report/ folder.
Installation Note:
Upload the .zip archive in your forum's root folder > Extract > Go to Plugin's Manager in AdminCP > Activate the Plugin.
Now a Checkbox appears in: AdminCP > Users and Groups > Groups > Edit each usergroup > Under "Miscellaneous" tab > "Can report user's profile ?"
By ticking this checkbox you are allowing that usergroup to Report anyone's profile. By default the checkbox has been already marked as ticked.

RE: Profile Report v0.1 - dsimms - 2012-03-02
may I suggest you add an extra feature.
Members can not edit profile until x amount of posts...
after reaching that point then Profile Report would kick in.
I had 5 signups today, and all of them were link profile spammers
dropping sex/porn/drug links...
If they can not contribute, I see no reason giving them the benefit...
and unless there any plugins already, then I suggest flagging
for admin review on any link on any part of mybb...some links
maybe ok, but 99.9% they are just spam anyway, because if
the post turns out ok, then admin can always approve it.
(this would be the solvable solution to spam) and if a post does
not contain a link, then it is approved, we can go on and on with
features on this, if you have trusted members, then you can
set them to pass review..etc..etc...
We honestly do not need these 500 plugins for spam.
Just flag every post that contains a link for review, and set
a pass for trusted members, if they cause problems, then
members can report (most do not take the time anyway)

Is this based on x amount of days or x amount of posts?
If it is only based on x amount of days, then they will just
ride out the days and start spamming; Those who earn their right by x amount of posts are less likely to spam...
