Are you sure that such a button exists? I just went into your profile to check by virtue of the fact that I had never heard of such a feature and was unable to find anything. I also tried searching using the "Find" feature in Firefox, and found nothing even comparable thereto. With all due respect, I think you may be somewhat confused on the issue. The best idea would be to report this matter to Wade via a PM; to the original poster, you will need to put the words "Newgrounds help" in the subject title, and to include a link to this individual's profile.

In future, please refrain from pointlessly suggesting such useless advice; doing so is regarded as nothing more than a rather unimaginative form of trolling, I'm afriad.

Eh... it was actually a pretty transparent (and funny, I thought) joke.

That said, he should have then provided a REAL answer after the joke... which he did not. Oh well. #;-}>

There isn't really too much you can do about it. Can you tell us who the user is?

Lighten up.
It's pretty obvious that it was a joke - how could it be taken seriously?

The amount of times people come into WI/HT and post totally useless information in topics, i thought I'd have a go, k?

OK, everybody needs to unbunch their panties and chill out. He made a joke, no big deal. He knows better (or should do after 12,000 odd posts on his other account :P), but he obviously just felt in a silly mood when he posted that.

As to the original question - people have said to contact Wade, but frankly, unless the picture depicts something illegal, I doubt any action will be taken. The OP has been asked to reveal who this user with the offensive profile pic is, and hasn't yet done so, which makes it hard for us to judge exactly what to do.

A lot of users have fairly offensive images in their profile, but being that it's their profile page, there's more scope to what they can actually get away with then there is on the BBS. Without actually seeing said image, I can't give you the appropriate advice pertaining to your complaint.

Ah, it appears that I have well and truly jumped the gun on this occasion, for which I apologise. Unfortunately, I tend to have a habit of being somewhat literal minded even at the best of times, for which reason, picking up on people just being in a silly mood is challenging for me on an Internet forum. Also, I was completely unaware that the person who made the suggestion had been here for long enough on another account to acquire 10,000 posts. When I saw a low ranking account with not much more posts than I do making a suggestion, I thought that it was just some immature user trying to be funny. Again, you have my apologies in this matter.

It is just as much fault of everybody else. They were being hypocritical for jumping all over you for making a simple mistake. And yes it is very hard to realize sarcasm over the internet, I agree.

Nobody's "jumping all over" Perceptor in here. I've defended him in many threads, just ask him yourself.

All I said was that it was pretty obvious to me that yhar was joking. And all yhar said was for Perceptor to lighten up.

.... so anyway. Way to ruin the moment, gaiz. ;_;
