How many reports do you reckon you'll get?

It's a bit strange that it just instantly reports the post. I think it should take you to a page where you can confirm that you actually do wish to report the post, and if required, type the reason for reporting it.
You could also make it clear on the 'reporting' page that misuse will result in an instant ban from the forums.
The extra step of this page may act as a deterrent on its own, but you could also make it so that the person reporting a post has to enter their password. Most people making a genuine report won't mind doing that.

I think you'll find that that it was a stupid idea putting it the same place that we all used to click on to return to the Forums - whoever thought of doing that was playing the silly games, but now it is in a better place.
