It would be awesome if you would add post report -> infraction integration:

1. When filing a post report, a member would would select the reason for the report from predefined options and would add an explanation. These options are the same as the infraction reasons.
2. When the moderator handles the report, the moderator has the option to convert the report into an infraction.
3. When the member is infracted, the infraction discussion includes a link to the report discussion or even better: the discussions are merged.
4. It is possible to see both the infraction discussion thread as the report discussion thread from the infraction tab on profile.

What do you think?

The issue with making this a default function is a major part of forums do not use the report function for just this. We also use this to request stickies and post moves.
