I see where your coming from, but I don't see why. In what way would this be effective, as we wouldn't need moderators if this was in place? I'm not offending your suggestion, maybe you could help me understand by explaining 'why' you thought of this? Thanks. I won't vote yet until you reply to this.

How would this strip the need for moderators? My entire suggestion simply makes it quicker and easier to report lengthy posts, in addition to adding an aesthetic appeal to the page.
For instance, consider
this post - if the topic title was (hypothetically) a violation of the rules, and someone went to report it (i.e. the first post), the report page is quite long, as a mirror of the original post.
Now consider how the "Add Reply" function that I'm using right now works: a preset box size is displayed, and any text that would extend the length instead enables scrolling - that is, the box itself never gets larger or wider unless the user changes the size manually.
In response to the latter half of your post, I found this to be an easy and ideal fix after reporting some posts with rather large images - if I interrupted the images loading in the original post to report it, they would then reload again on the report page, gradually pushing the actual report feature down several screens as the images occupied the space. Even if the images were fully cached when I went to report the post, if they were exceedingly large (in the extreme case, longcat images as noted by tcl), they would disrupt the hell out of the page.
