The problem I see with the report button is that it puts extra weight on the admins/moderators. That is exactly what the downvote button was invented for in the first place. It would take an incredible amount of effort if the admins had to go and personally moderate everything that is reported. The downvote button allows for the post to not raise up on the front page and also not require constant moderation.
