The player needs only to select the category of report they are sending (this could be used to report harassment, or other infractions), and voila -- the whole report is accurate, complete, comprehensive, and sent off in a few seconds.
Wow, it's my doppleganger!

Great minds really think alike, because I would definitely prefer to see something like this. It's similar to how it's handled it World of Warcraft. You right-click the name in the chat log, and there is a 'report spam' option. You are then given a popup that confirms you really want to report them for spamming. When you click yes, the report is sent and they are automatically blocked.

The problem with just blacklisting is it only helps us. It doesn't help SE by reporting the offender. However, until they make an easier way (instead of asking us to go through the help desk menus and filling out a report), a lot of people just won't bother.
