Hi,
I noticed that any user may send empty reports about messages to a moderator. I think if someone feels offended then he/she/it should at least take the time to explain why the message has been reported. That's why my suggestion would be that if someone attempts to send an empty message an error dialog should crawl up reminding that there should be a reason given to report a message.
--edit--
see next Why I changed the heading of this
--edit--
bye
Ken

Hm. The empty message thing is really annoying. U can flood the forum with this report form. just keep on clicking the button, and the mod will get spammed with useless empty comments. More than that after performing the flooding u can even generate a crash:

Seems to me a nice exploit to take revenge on a forum 
--edit--
Cleaning up the posts is pretty annoying too as it completely slows down the server. Its no problem to generate 100 empty messages within a minute.

Question:
What would be better, to allow only 1 report per use per message
or to allow 1 report per user per time unit (like we do for message posting).

Hm difficult. Because anonymous could be as well dozens of visitors that feel offended by a post. So I think it should be included into the flood trigger.

Fixes added.
The report form will now complain should a user attempt to send a blank report.
I've added code to allow 1 report per user per message. The reason being that once a message is reported there is no point for more reports until admin or mod decide to resolve the report.
Affected files ( report.tmpl, report.php.t, all msg files (3 new text entries).
