I know, something like that were suggested before, it was declined, but this is really a pet peeve:

Old suggestion: http://www.skial.com/threads/remove-the-reports-from-recent-threads.26252/

So my suggestion is to place report threads right below the normal discussion threads, in the place of trade threads (trade threads can be below reports tho), i know some people think those things funny/entertaining, but it would be a convenience for the community and maybe for some admins, plus admins may lose a report or two just by new threads coming over it, this will solve that too.
EDIT:
What i have in mind:

I guess I will give a reason for my negative. Why change how we have it now? It works and has worked like this for a while. If I want to see new posts that are not on the "big board" I select the "new posts" at the top.

I guess I see no reason to change it just because once in a while JB reports fill it up. I see I am in the minority on this just didn't see a reason to change it.

Just for convenience, like, some admin just want to bust some server-crappers, being it separated from the common threads will make it way easier to respond that report immediately, besides jailbreak freekill reports, wich is common as water

However it could be done if Bottiger has some spare time, which I hardly doubt. It's easier to let it the way it always was.

There is a suggestion thread for a reason, for bottiger to improve what the community wants. He is constantly changing the website around making improvements and 99% of the suggestions cant be done with out him. So I'm sure he has time for Skial.

I understand. Myself when I first get on the forums I go straight to the reports section and look through the new posts. If its changed I agree it wont be a bad thing.

If this gets accepted he must add that to his to do list, really, for me this is just a minor pet peeve, it doesn't matter if it will be released next month or so, i just want to my suggestion to happen

Bottiger focuses on the servers, not xenforo.

That said, this would be an easy implementation.
 
-1, I want to see trade posts

+1 since trade threads will still be there.

You could even use Digital Point Spy.
http://xenforo.com/community/resources/digital-point-spy.85/

Currently it lists all new actions but I'm sure the underlying code can be modified.

Code: 
var spyHighestId = 0,
  spyItems = [],
  spyTiming = 1E3;

function getSpyItems() {
  $.ajax({
  url: window.location + "feed" + (0 < window.location.href.indexOf("?") ? "&" : "?") + "last=" + spyHighestId + "&r=" + Math.random(),
  type: "GET",
  success: function (a) {
  a = $.makeArray(a.feed);
  $.each(a, function (a, c) {
  $.each(c, function (a, b) {
  0 < b.length && (spyItems.push(b), spyHighestId = Math.max(parseInt(a), spyHighestId))
  })
  });
  spyInsert()
  }
  })
}

function spyInsert() {
  if (0 < spyItems.length) {
  var a = spyItems.shift();
  $("#spyContents .discussionListItems").prepend('<div class="itemWrapper">' + a + "</div>");
  $("#spyContents .itemWrapper:first-child").slideDown(spyTiming / 2);
  25 < $("#spyContents .itemWrapper").length && $("#spyContents .itemWrapper:last-child").slideUp(spyTiming / 2, function () {
  $("#spyContents .itemWrapper:last-child").remove()
  })
  }
  0 < spyItems.length ? setTimeout("spyInsert()", spyTiming) : (spyTiming = 2E3, setTimeout("getSpyItems()", 5E3))
};

It's right under the normal posts, if you cant see it by just a blink of a eye then your resolution is 800x600

Or you could relegate it to a different page in order to not clutter up the sidebar.

I can't see how this might overload the sidebar

Well, then how do you think this wont be easier to admins?

It would definitely make it look a lot more cluttered.
edit: and it's already kinda long at ~1400 px.

I've just checked the sidebar, is the members online thingy removable? Its pretty useless since there are lots of members online at the same time

All aspects of the sidebar are modifiable.

Well, this made me think about the layout, the forum statistic thing and member online are pretty much useless for forum readers, plus status updates is way too low
