Khasim, hundreds of reports, even of the same type of user, does not mean it's abuse. Civil society organisations, like ours, focus on removing hate speech from social media platforms like Facebook. We actively report large volumes of hate speech and produce briefings to help others do the same.
Organisations like ours, and individuals who actively supporting such work, would need to be white listed in a system like the one you suggest. Otherwise all the system will do is chew up more resources monitoring people who are not only doing the right thing, but who are actively helping Facebook achieve its stated policies by reporting breaches. Of course Facebook's policies need to be right in the first place - as others have pointed out.
We also ready have a problem where pages on Facebook which work against hate are attacked by haters and closed down. We have a relationship with Facebook which lets us manually flag such false positives so they can be quickly addressed and the pages restored.
The problem is more complicated than it looks.:)
