I am wondering why there is not a report user button on users' profile pages. There are some reviews I have seen where I don't know how/why they got accepted as they seem to be pretty offensive. It would be nice to be able to flag some users with IMDb staff to have a look over what some people have

Submission Email Receipts for Reviews Sent for Your Consideration and Approval
My last five movie reviews did not generate a reciprocal submission email receipt sent to me from IMDB, which in my experience has been a routine occurrence in the process for many years. You approved and published all of the submitted reviews. Why no more submission email receipts?
