Supreme mastery therefore, is not to be victorious in all your battles; supreme excellence is to be victorious without fighting.

It is a way for the average user to inform the moderators of rule breaking or otherwise undesirable posts. Not only does it hide the reported posts, but it also sends some sort of notification to the 'report queue' which allows them to review the post and consider punishment.
Unfortunately, it seems that not too many people take advantage of the tool. And a very few others even use it as a way of harassing people they do not like.
(eg. Hey guys, _____ user just posted a thread which could be considered rule breaking because it does not encourage discussion, quick everyone report him so he gets banned.)
While that does not happen often at all, it still does. However, the legitimate use of the tool far outweighs the abuses.
Point is, while it's not perfect, it's a very nice tool to have and it does its job well. Use it.
As for the rest, the mods are human beings too. They are not omniscient and they can't be everywhere at once. Just report, PM, and hope for the best.
