If a post may be advocating something unlawful that could put the whole forum at risk and those in charge. What if someone posts something that is libellous? That could put those running the forum and vBulletin may take action. See what happened when false allegations were made about a member of the House of Lords?

As for duplicate posts, they may have been caused by a problem with the forum and the poster is unaware that it has been duplicated or unsure how to rectify the issue. If I had a duplicate post and I wanted to report my own duplicate post, because I could not delete it, under the current restrictions I could not report it using the report function. I would have to PM a specific moderator and hope they were on duty.
