How to report a person instead of a game page?​

If I look at the theoretical villain's creator's page, and at his/her community profile, then I don't find the small "report" link anywhere. It is by design of itch, that the "report" link is only shown on game pages and comments, but not on profiles? Is it even possible to report a person just because I find his/her nickname very offensive and disturbing? (Besides the strange profile name, I'm also rather sure about that the stuff he/she published may be a little bit too much extreme, even amongst the many wild games in itch's "Adult" category, just by looking at the screenshots at the game page. Thus, I don't even wanna download the game to check it, whether it contains a virus as an additional extra)

Nope, I never heard of any kind of incident related to my profile name, and nope, if you are curious about the person I have a problem with, it's not me asking an indirect question about account names.

The individual named himself/herself: "The Czechoslovakian Secret Police", and his/her game preview picture shows a girl eating a man's severed head on a plate.

It's extremely shady, because his/her name doesn't even match the name in his/her creator page. If you have nerves from steel you can have a look at his/her games:

It's not the profile picture, it's the miniature preview picture one of his/her games, that shows up immediately without clicking if you browse amongst the "NSFW" tagged games on itch.

Comments has a delay, I already posted it for you, look above.

While there's no way to report individual profiles, I believe you can just report the games in question with the offending art and add a comment to the report with your concerns for the admins to read over!

And what about my question about this:

https://itch.io/t/2192623/why-does-reporting-someone-require-me-to-input-my-emai...

I just don't feel like actually confident typing in my email address on a game page like that, and won't do it until at least a mod confirms that I shouldn't worry about it.

I'd assume that the email is only shared if it's something like a copyright thing where they'd need to legally inform the other party that someone is claiming a DMCA against them, so they could take the necessary action if need be. But I getcha--and hopefully someone can clarify more officially, just to be sure!

I must add that, I have seen horror movies with worse things inside, but what I really can't ignore, is that the person is advocating Satanism in the name of "The Czechoslovakian Secret Police".

If you dare to look at the devlog of his/her other game:

https://lokiskingdom.itch.io/harmony/devlog/341582/harmony-its-alive

You can find this phrase: "This game was created to capture human souls, and set their minds in service to me, it is full of hypnotic suggestion and demonic ritualism"

and at the end signed with:

"goodbye humans,

-Lord Lucifer the Devil

[The Czechoslovakian Secret Police]"

So, even if there is artistic freedom on itch about the right to maybe display anything offensive looking, is it also allowed to advocate satanism in the name of a government agency? Nuh, I say this isn't right.

Threatening other users is against our terms of service. Also, bad taste is still free speech.

Oh, and to top it all you're basically threatening to crack this website. Please reconsider.
