Wouldn't the easier solution have just been to make the report button actually, ya know, do something?

Or have 2 buttons. 1 for mods 1 for admins. The choices now do nothing for a mod. Only applicable one for like 99.99% of reports is other.

The report button actually does something. It flags the submission or comment into a special queue which can be used by subreddit moderators to review reported items.
The admins may or may not hook into the report system, but they don't talk about that (and I don't expect them to).
