Could we get some sort of confirmation box for the Report Post option please? I had to fix a spelling error in one, and instead of htting 'End' I went back and tried to click the end of the sentence so that I could finish the report, but missed and hit 'Go' instead, sending a half-finished and pretty unhelpful report that might well get seen to, but these things could be ignored if they don't make sense.

Just a simple "Are you sure you wish to report this post?" box after hitting 'Go' could prevent misclicks sending errant reports, although this probably isn't much of an issue so much as a personal peeve

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

Unless it is something really specific, a short comment works as well as a verbose one. A screw up in typing the content still presents the post in question as needing checking, so it works for us either way. Obviously a clear statement saves us time, but it does not reduce the effectiveness of the modding and I dont really want to add a confirmation step where it might discourage people from posting reports in the future due to extra clicks.

What about a set list of presets and a section to write comments? I guess that'd work as well as the confirm in this case as it'd be a little harder to screw up and if there's an other option it'd still cover everything.

I'm however fine with it as is, it's simple and quick.
