Absolutely. I have served as an moderator on four different science forums and while on each of them the mod team welcomed reports of rule breaking most of our interventions were proactive, based upon taking the time to read threads. Often it is the same individuals who are breaking the rules, yet they are apparently immune to criticism.I think instead of relying on a system where users need to report such content, there needs to be more action taken to prevent it from being posted.
An effective approach. which is seemingly rejected here, is to name and shame. This not only eliminates or reduces offences from that individual, but very clearly defines what is unacceptable - far more effective than a generic, no flaming or goading warning, which people think could not possibly apply to them.
