Add a "report" function to chat/IM feature?

So, I recently noticed that there is 0 way to report someone outside of the post-game lobby. And, recently, I've been getting some phishing attempts thrown my way (I knew better tho, thanks to living on the internet for years). I never removed the person because I was trying to look for a way to report them! Alas, I found that you must submit a feedback request to get this handled, but I feel that's inefficient and might clog up the feedback emails.

But hows about adding a report button to IM chats (under the little "gear" button in the top right) and _possibly ___as an option when you right-click someones name? To deal with trolls, flamers, spammers, and phishers. INB4 "just walk away/unadd them lol" - Nah, negative aspects/people in the community need dealing with.

I agree, I have had a player once, I was a newbie at the time...He had flamed me in game. Then continued on to friend me. Me, not realize who it was I was accepting onto my friend's list (i didn't really pay attention to the flamers name) and about 5 minutes after accepting the request i received a chat message from said user with him flaming me about how 'my match history is shit', 'i shouldnt even be playing', etc. etc. etc.

He actually looked up my profile ONLY to flame me. and THANK YOU, I invite you to look at some of my other posts on here. One is titled What, if anything, do you guys think Riot can do about the behavior of the community.

I have some ideas about adding a chat restriction trigger during ingame chat to minimize the possibilities of flaming, spamming and harassment...id love to hear any other ideas you might have about bettering the tribunal and the community of league.

I would love this feature. I've been harassed more then once privately and all I can do is block them :/ they just go on to harass someone else.

PLEASE make this feature, I've wanted it the whole 2 years I've been playing League. I CONSTANTLY get people saying things that should be reportable in messages. :\

There should also be a feature to report for people sending messages for Elo Boosting. Constant messages....
