Cannot Report SPAM and Other Inappropriate Content

I am no longer able to report inappropriate messages to alert the Forum Moderators that SPAM or other types of banned content has been posted in the forum.

For example, see the spam posted by sheraz0337 today (13-May-2024) in my topic Some Forum Logins Now Require Both 2FA and (Multiple) CAPTCHAs.  That post is a copy-and-paste of @DELL-Chris M 's 09-May-2024 post <here> in that same topic but has an additional link labeled "click hear" that re-directs users to a Shopify website.

I don't know when this functionality disappeared but the image in my 21-Oct-2023 post <here> shows that I used to be able to report inappropriate posts in previous versions of the Sprinklr forum software.

Understood. In the new Forum software those options were only granted to elevated roles (TechExpert, Rockstar). I moved you up to TechExpert role to give you those options. We can remove it but then you will not see options for "Mark as Spam" and "Flag as Inappropriate".

When you mouse over the 3 vertical dots, what options do you see?

Hi @DELL-Chris M :

Nothing but the option to "Copy Link".  See the image in my original post, which was captured while was logged in to the forum.

Refresh and try it now. Same or different 3 dot options?

Hi @DELL-Chris M :

I can now see options for "Mark as Spam" and "Flag as Inappropriate".

However, I also received an in-app notification that I had "earned" a TechExpert badge.  That's fine for testing, but I don't want this badge on a permanent basis.

Hi @DELL-Chris M :

Thanks for your reply.

That's a shame.  Just one of the many puzzling decisions made by the higher-ups at Dell that I don't understand, starting with the switch to the Sprinklr platform in August 2023 that has saddled customers with forum software that can't even send out email notifications.

... I moved you up to TechExpert role to give you those options. We can remove it but then you will not see options for "Mark as Spam" and "Flag as Inappropriate".


Yes, I would appreciate if you would remove the TechExpert badge from my user profile.

Hi @DELL-Chris M :

Just an FYI that am once again able to  flag / unflag inappropriate content in the forum since you removed the TechExpert badge from my user profile on 14-May-2024.  This image was captured after I logged in to the forum on 27-May-2024 and chose "Flag as Inappropriate" to report a spam message.

I don't know if it's deliberate, but now there is only one option to "Flag as Inappropriate" (i.e., I can't see "Mark as Spam" as a second option as shown in my 13-May-2024 image <above> when I was a TechExpert).

Correct. You would need the TE role to see Mark as Spam.

Hi @DELL-Chris M :

Then something must have changed between 14-May-2024 and 29-May-2024, because when you removed the TechExpert badge from my account on 14-May-2024 both "Mark as Spam" and "Flag as Inappropriate" disappeared (i.e., just like the image in my original 13-May-2024 post<here>).

In the end it's not important to me when the change was made as long as users without a TechExpert badge have the "Flag as Inappropriate" option to alert Mods to problematic posts.  Having a separate "Mark as Spam" option seems a bit superfluous anyway.

Hi @DELL-Chris M :

... and the  "Flag as Inappropriate" option as disappeared again.  Never mind.

This is off-topic, but I also wanted to mention that when I am composing a reply in the WYSIWYG editor and press the Enter key to start a new paragraph the cursor disappears and I have no idea were I'm located in the editor until I start typing text or try to insert an image. After I post my reply the line spacing between paragraphs often disappears as well.

The WYSIWYG editor has been doing this for about a week now.

I am using Chrome browser and do not have that issue. Also, no issue in horrible Edge.

Hi @DELL-Chris M :

I can confirm that the cursor appears in the WYSIWYG editor when I compose replies using MS Edge, so the problem does appear to be associated with my default Firefox browser.  I tried posting with all browser extensions disabled in Firefox and that didn't help, so it's possible the issue was introduced in Firefox v126.0.0 (rel. 14-May-2024) or Firefox v126.0.1 (rel. 28-May-2024).
