Acceptable, but not ideal. Providing a user-proof solution is
sometimes too complicated, and as a developer I understand (and have
experienced) the problem of users reporting things as critical which
are not.

But I'd rather have 5 reports marked as critical instead of grave
because the user exaggerated his problem than of a single critical
report lost because the user got annoyed by being controlled too
much by the reporting tool.

But as I said, it is acceptable, and I'd rather see grave or
critical problems fixed instead of discussing this endlessly :)
