Not too sure about the checkbox and standardization. Also need to think about different languages as well.
Fair point. I just think there is a bit of a mental barrier for relatively new users to start reporting. At least, there was for me when I started. Being new to the forum at the time, reporting posts of members more senior than me felt strange, almost like I hadn't earned the right to pass judgement on them. I was also very unsure to begin with what I should be writing in the comment boxes, or just how much a post had to break the rules to be considered for deletion, that sort of thing. Some guidance of "Suggested reports" might encourage more users to start reporting, rather than just skipping over spammy or other rule breaking posts.

This is an idea I liked
Yeah, agreed. Especially given that I always use suchmoon's script as above, and I often go on reporting sprees before all my previous reports have been looked at and dealt with, I often find myself wasting time double checking my report history to make sure I don't report the same posts twice. A warning would be useful.
