The reported post functionality is not going away, sorry.

Reporting posts is a standard way of letting the community support team -- the moderators and administrators of the forum -- to know when something may have violated our community guidelines. Moderators do not remove threads or posts unless there's clearly a violation of the guidelines, and it appears the thread or post is causing harm to other members.

Just because a member is "accepting" of someone else's post that violates the community guidelines Doesn't mean that it's okay. The guidelines are what make the community a safe and supportive environment, and such selective enforcement of them would make it much less so, IMO.
