I'm pretty annoyed with small text area we have to report posts. It's really too small in my opinion. You can hardly follow what you have written in it. So I decided to look how to make it bigger. And, as I found out, it's pretty simple.

You need to edit template reportitem

Find:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

You need to change this to:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

The important part is this:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

You changed textarea class to reportitembox from primary, so we could add new CSS description that constructs larger post report area. You could use different description, but I choose to go with reportitembox. Be careful to choose unique name for CSS description.

Now we need to add new CSS information in vbulletin-formcontrols.css

Here add this code:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Of course, you could use different width and height, as you like it. :)

As a result, we have much larger post report area as you can see in pictures. Now it's much easier to report posts as you can see more text you enter in reports.

Changelog:

28.1 - v1.10 use of CSS element secondary conflicts with CMS, that actually uses it. Changed to reportitembox.

Discovered conflict with CMS that actually uses secondary CSS element. Now I'm using reportitembox. Hope this is not used anywhere.
