A student reports a post: "Report this post" opens a dialog asking for a reason and optional details

The moderation queue: each reported post with its reporter, reason and status, and actions to mark OK, hide or suspend

The "Report this post" link, placed first, before Permalink and Reply, in ForumCare-enabled forums

The report dialog: a flag and a notice that this is a report, not a reply, then a reason and an optional comment

A hidden post: its message is replaced by "This post has been hidden by a moderator."

About

Students report problematic posts via a link placed first in every forum post's action menu (so it is not mistaken for Reply), in a dialog that says plainly it is a report, not a reply, choosing from configurable report reasons (site-wide or per-course). Thresholds can auto-hide a post after N open reports and auto-suspend repeat offenders — counting distinct reporters, so one person cannot trigger it alone — with a teacher review queue behind it. Reporting is opt-in per forum, under a site-wide master switch.
