Installation Instructions:
Backup your forum database. You are installing this modification at your own risk - I will not be held responsible for any damages or losses to your computer/web server/site data/vBulletin installation that occur from trying to install/uninstall this hack.
Extract the files from the .zip archive
Open the upload directory
If you have changed the directory names of the Mod CP or the Admin CP from the defaults you will need to apply the same changes here.
Upload the contents of the 'upload' directory to the forum directory on your web server
When the uploads are complete go into the Admin CP and expand the 'Plugins and Products' menu on the left-hand side.
Click the 'Manage Products' link in the menu you just expanded.
Click the '[Add/Import Product]' link at the bottom of the page.
In the 'OR import the XML file from your server' text box change 'product.xml' to 'product-pprm.xml'
Click 'Import'
Click OK on the prompt
Make sure in the vBulletin Options menu under 'User Infractions & Post Reporting Options' that Post Reporting Emailis not set to 'no e-mail'. Due to the core hook location of this hack it will not work if e-mailing is not enabled in the vBulletin options. However, this can be overridden on the PPRM configuration page.
and you're all done You may wish to change the configuration of PPRM, this can be done from the Post Reports menu in the Admin CP navigation.
Mark the mod as installed, this is so you can receive updates regarding the mod. I won't spam you or send you drunken e-mails lolol.
This hack is still in beta phase and I would really appreciate your feedback with any bugs/errors/design issues you encounter. Things to watch out for are compatibility issues with non-major browsers and the 'acknowledge permissions' setting not working as I've only done a very limited amount of testing on it.
There's no importation from Distance's Advance Post Reports for 3.6. I could try knock up a script to do it but it won't be ready for a couple of days though as I've got to do some skinning in time for Valentine's Day. I can't see any problem with installing mine though and leaving that one disabled in the meantime.
It would be a brilliant addition to this hack, if you could add in a functionality to remove reporting rights for members who abuse the system, or, are suspended etc....

This is a really interesting hack. The default post reporting function can greatly be improved.
It would be awesome if you would add post report -> infraction integration:
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.
When the moderator handles the report, the moderator has the option to convert the report into an infraction.
When the member is infracted, the infraction discussion includes a link to the report discussion or even better: the discussions are merged.
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?
Yeah those are some good ideas, when this comes out of beta, if there is enough interest in the mod I'll look at including some of the suggestions in this thread

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.
