Thank you. This was very informative and useful to me, knowing that this works sort of like an "issue tracker" that pops up for all moderators to see immediately. (Rather than just going into some kind of queue somewhere.)
Along with the warning that the "logged in" indicator isn't completely reliable, this might be something to note in the FAQ/Community Guidelines. What's there doesn't seem to clearly state a preference for the report button. Unless I've missed something.
