Can you add a moderation of « ignore that user's reports in the future »? No need to tell me who the user is though. There's some rare but extremely trigger happy users that report large swaths of content and it's really annoying.
Yes, members that abuse the moderation system will have their moderation tools suspended.
Also, can you automatically prevent reporting to tribes a user has been banned from. Revenge reporting is a pain on reddit.
This is impossible to do because content is posted in multiple tribes. We will however effectively enforce our rules when it comes to moderation tools and remove that ability should it be abused.
Actually, some of these may be misunderstandings. We can't really communicate back to the reporter. Could you tell them that their reports have been declined?
Someone reports something as violating tribal rules. It actually doesn't and likely comes from a misunderstanding of the rules. You can't tell the reporter so they continue reporting which is a pain in the butt.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. Can you elaborate?

That's one advantage i mentioned. I want to be able to get in touch with the down voters.
Most forum software trying to do what snapzu does offer three responses to reports:
Confirm : The report is good and is or will be acted upon. The user reported about will be penalized (in karma or otherwise)
Reject : The report is wrong, spurious, or otherwise should not have been made. The reporter will be penalized.
Ignore : The report is in a gray area. No one will be penalized.
Ignore is good for those cases of "We should have a rule about that but we currently don't so I can't punish that person for it.".
