I have to admit to having used the "report post" feature in the past, and perhaps a little recently, too... It's been my experience that they do respond if they are alerted to a post. So I don't know how closely they monitor the forums, but there is someone whose attention can be summoned.
What they choose to do after attention has been called to a thread is up to them. We all know and love gecko's witty contributions to threads, but perhaps if just one of them is seen in an otherwise sketchy thread, less-informed people might jump to the wrong conclusions about gecko's position in the community. I would not be surprised if that happened here.
I am quite certain there's no language auto-ban. I, more than anyone, keep running into that darn language filter over there, but I've never been hit with anything more than a few asterisks.
The important thing is that gecko is here!
