Do you not see a Report button? There at least used to be one; I can't see because I only see a Ban button.

There is a Report button when I view comments that are replies to my comments, or when I view private messages.
There is no Report button when I view comments normally.

Oh, you're right! Didn't remember that, but the inbox does have "Context" and "Report" links instead of the standard buttons.

Edit: I suppose a clever bit of scripting could probably fix it browser-side, then, but that's a very hacky solution and there's still value in having a built-in report button for, say, people who don't have the script or often access lesswrong from different browsers/computers.

See Issue 272. The report button was removed during a past redesign, as (I gather) redesigners didn't feel it was motivated sufficiently to bother preserving it. The issue's been in accepted/contributions-welcome mode since Sep 2011.

Okay, if there's no longer a Report button, I at least am willing to field PMs from people who think I should consider banning specific comments.

Nope, no report button here. Upvote/downvote on the left, Parent/Reply/Permalink on the right (+Edit/Retract when own posts).

I see no such button, FWIW.
