What the hell is with the report button being mistaken as a reply button?

Seriously, I don't know if anyone else has had this on their forum, but ever noticed a couple of users who seem to think the report button is something to use to reply to things like picture comments and visitor messages? It's getting rather annoying on my own forum recently, especially as the moderators apparently get a email every single time someone mistakenly does this, so any ideas how to stop this? Had that happen on your own site?

Never had that problem. Your site has a lot of under aged users doesnt it? LOL NOOBS I can see my 11 yr old doing something like that.

I've never had that problem either, the report button is smaller than your reply button, isn't it?

It's for the picture comments I think, that uses a text box to reply and a button to report, there is no reply button so to speak.

It hardly ever happens on vB.org, but i guess most of our members have administration experience with vB. On another board i sometimes work on, it does happen a lot. Even so much that we are tempted to change the text on the button. (REPly looks very similar to REPort if you don't read )

Maybe modify the report template and add some default text to the text box? "This is for reporting ... blah blah blah"
