I guess it is better to have a "Show pending reports" webpage under the "Show recent posts" and etc, in which it would contain all reports that is not yet had any attention nor given an action by a moderator or an administrator. Then a feature in it that those pending can still either be deleted and/or edited by the user.
Once you have made 300 good reports, the page https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=reportlist;mine shows a list of your last month worth of reports, including whether they have been marked good, bad, or remain unhandled. You could implement a system to be able to edit the unhandled reports. The issue with this is that if I report something with a borderline reason, mods view it but leave it unhandled, and I then edit it, it would need to move back to the top of the mod queue or risk not being seen.It also doesn't solve the problem of accidental duplicate reports. The majority of my bad reports are because I've reported the same post twice without meaning to. When you spend time actively reporting, you read so much spammy nonsense that it all blends in to one and you can easily forget which exact permutations of "bitcoin is going to fly to the moon" you've read and reported before. This is especially true if it takes a few days for my reports to be dealt with, and the same spam posts are hanging around for a few days. A pop up or other notification would be preferable, I think.
