Just looked at your demo and have some remarks:
- Perhaps the report form could be implemented as an OL popup. This 
eliminates the need for a page reload and it looks and behaves like one 
would expect when one ctrl-clicked on the map.

- The 'number of poi problem' might also be solved with a number of 
measures, like:
-- If you send the area watching mapper an email with a hyperlink to the 
map showing the problem POI. This way you'll have only one POI active in 
the map while watching the problem.
-- Corrected/finished reports disappear from the map.
-- Require the map to be zoomed in to certain extend before showing any POI.
-- POI have a maximum lifetime.
