I'm also not keen on reports hosted elsewhere, particularly when it appears that what's really going on is an attempt to drive ad views on a private blog. Seems in poor taste.
I'd like to see some kind of feature where the thread for a given report offers the option of filtering out replies or chitchat, so you get only the posts specific to the report itself. Perhaps via some kind of tagging function, or by keeping new threads locked to everyone but the OP until they are somehow marked as 'finished'. I understand that Q&A sometimes filters back into subsequent chapters but since not everyone does placeholder empty posts at the start of their new threads, it can sometimes be difficult to keep track.
