Does this link require that a user be logged in? I may have clicked on it by mistake in a thread, but I was not logged in.

If you’re not logged in, you won’t get the page to enter a message and submit your report. Even if you ARE logged in, simply clicking the link won’t automatically send a report. You have to fill in the comments text box and click the submit button to file a report.
