    @Robobenklein Why did you report this user when your supposed to report the user you were FIRST in contact with?
    It really complicates the whole report when you do this.
    Who is that other user? SR profile block please!

    Also if the other user is already tagged there is nothing more we can do to them but you should have deleted/ignored them at that point.
