Facebook Groups weird rules?

Seen this on a couple of Facebook groups - why would they want this. As an admin its so much easier to deal with issues if the post/comment is reported?

Tag Admins
If someone has broken any rules please tag an admin, under no circumstances should you use the report to admin feature. Members who are caught using the report to admin feature will be banned.

Doesn't it also mean that you can't report the transgressor anonymously? I wouldn't like that. I've reported two posts on a local FB page in as many days! The posts were removed.

didn't fb used to shut down groups that has lots of admin reports? I think they are too busy now!

so tagging admin may not flag issues to fb, which may or may not be better for the group?

Reports aren't anonymous though, it says XXX reported ZZZ's post and then you get several options to deal with the reported post.

What I meant about reports is that the person whose post you report doesn't see it was you.

I am on a support group on fb for a medical condition I have. The woman who set it up is in the US and is really getting strict on making it clear we’re sharing experiences not giving medical advice. She says FB are getting hot on medical groups and loads have been shut down. Apparently a child died after a mother asked an FB group if she needed medical attention and being told no.

"Run by Emilee Saldaya—a former home-birth midwife's assistant turned “radical birthkeeping” coach—the Free Birth Society was the largest unassisted-birth page on Facebook before it closed down. Its 6,200 members ran the gamut from crystal-toting Goop readers to blue-collar women who had experienced trauma in past hospital births."

That was an AWFUL group - you get banned if you said someone needed to get proper medical help
