How to report/flag a user or a ThingSpeak channel?

When I find spammers, I often tend to check their profile to see what else needs cleaned up. Occasionally there are accounts like these:
Both of these accounts had been pasting dumb exploit attempts on either the forum or FEX, which have since been deleted. In both cases though, they left behind some extra trash on ThingSpeak.
The problem is that I see no way to report content on ThingSpeak, and the Report button rarely shows up on user profile pages. For me, in Firefox, only the second profile page has one.
As far as I'm concerned, there's no point keeping these disposed spam accounts around, so I'm not terribly concerned with reporting the ThingSpeak channels. I just want to know how to report/flag the accounts when the button won't show up. I guess let's start with figuring out whether I'm the only one that can't see the button.

For the second link, you can report the users using the "report" flag at the top of their profile. The first users doesn't have a report flag because the account isn't as new. There isn't a reporting mechanism for thingspeak but I'll pass along your message. Thanks for reporting!
