What do you mean? Wouldn't the button just generate an email to you, with perhaps the id of the poster reporting and a short message space to explain what they think is wrong?
Then you could look at the posts reported and send back an automated message to the reporter along the lines of "I've looked at this and it appears to comply with the civility guidelines" or "I've looked at this and handled it accordingly"?
Are you asking if there should be a public report of posts reported? That would appear to be contrary to the spirit behind the whole button idea.
Weren't you giving some thought to allowing the button reporting to replace your reading every post and save you time? Are you still considering that? Or do you still want to look for things that others might not have found uncivil but you would.
