MJ 02 Feb 2015: As the maintainer I support this idea. Should ILIAS present a confirmation screen or modal dialogue to prevent accidentally sent notifications?

JF 30 Mar 2015: We appreciate the feature and schedule it for 5.1. Using a modal dialog is ok. It should also offer the reporter an optional input field for entering the reason why (s)he reported the posting. The activation of the feature should be configurable for each forum.
