There is a "report" link on PM's. What does it do? We could also add a feature to allow a user to block another user's PM's.

I'm not sure. When a comment is reported, I can see how many reports it's accumulated when viewing the comment in some ordinary context, and then I can "ignore" the reports (making them evaporate), or ban the comment, or leave it alone for someone else to deal with. It doesn't send me a message notifying me that a report has been lodged. I can't see other people's PMs so I'm not sure how I'd become aware of reports on them.

These links collect reported items on main section and in discussion (they work for moderators, not visible if not logged in, not sure about other users):

I get the message "The page you requested does not exist".

Oh, neat, thank you.

Well, there goes my apparently silly theory that moderators would have access to a list of pending reports, which would obviously let them see reported PM's that they wouldn't be able to see otherwise.
