How is it complex to apply? You literally just write up an application through the bug tracker.

IIRC, reporting a post sends actual emails to the staff, rather than something internal to track reports. Further, moderators who want to move a thread to a different board require mod rights on BOTH boards. Etc, etc, etc. A lot, but not nearly all, of the issue lies with this old-as-sin forum software. Migration to XenForo has been discussed many times before, but all the customizations made to vBulletin here would have to be redone... Not to mention all the integrations with other parts of AM (like the bug tracker.)
