Showing if a post has been reported
With the (not-so-) new changes to the reports of posts, I think there should be in indicator showing if the post has been reported, like so:
That way, if it's in the wrong topic, and someone reports it to be moved, the next people who see it that see it needs to be moved won't report it again, and so the person who posted in the wrong forum won't get banned. But if the post is really inappropriate, people will still be able to report it 3 (or however much it is) times to have the post go under review.

Re: Showing if a post has been reported
Remember that no big changes are coming before 2.0.
Also, just thinking about the code, I can't think of a good way to do this with my SQL skillset that doesn't involve exploding the number of queries.

prehaps change the text from "report" to "this post has been reported for everyone"?

I don't know any server based programming languages, but can't they just assign a property to the post (since every post has a different id), have something on the server making that property (to see if it's been reported) to stay true, and while loading have an if (post.property==true){document.postSection=<i>This post has been reported</i>}
Where the postSection is the part of the post that is shown in the picture. Isn't it possible to just do that?

It's the server-side part of the code, and without some structure modifications, I believe it is rather difficult. I tried left-joining the reports table with any reports for that post and seeing if any exist, but it gave me strange results.
