This is something I didn't even know about, seems that the report floodcheck is using the email floodcheck time setting, as that is the only setting with a 180 seconds limit that I could find.
Unfortunately there's no way to set separate floodcheck times per usergroup, for posts OR reports.
edit: Actually I just wrote a simple plugin to do it, so now n00bs have a 120 second wait between posts.
