personally I would much rather have people report posts regardless of how bad you think the infraction is than derail a thread for a page or two talking about how it is or isn't a problem post. There is nothing worse than having a good thread ruined by a bunch of people jumping on a poster or two when the conversation could just continue and report the post and let the mods deal with it. Not only that but it saves the mods time so they don't have to then go back to a thread and clean it up because the thread went in that direction.
As KevanGuy mentioned they don't read every post or every thread so it gives me a better idea of who may be a problem. I personally use the report function when I see something I don't like, if the mods don't agree I move on, but at least it's been reported instead of a thread being derailed about my feelings on a certain post which happens too much around here IMHO.
