On the report box, each of the checkboxes on the "Send Report To" should have a mouseover that explains exactly what each option is.

I also don't understand the star rating. I don't think I have ever had "5 star food poisoning," but it sure does sound nice!

Great point about the hover, and information popups for mobile, thanks for the reminder. We had those in the past, they were not well used, but I still think it's great to have them, especially for the 'Send Report To' - that's a newer feature. Star ratings is something new we are trying out, some people want to rate, and as wonderfully suprising as some people are, some want to rate well. I think its' an offset to them 'feeling bad' about reporting a place, especially if it's a place they frequent, and usually like. Not sure.
