That would have a much clearer “Yes” answer. I know this changed a short while ago and I have found the change definitely negative as far as my being able to quickly say “Yes, its spam and delete and block the user” (as is virtually always my answer).

“Approve” seems still problematic terminology since the question would then be - am I approving the post or the flag?

Something like: “is there something wrong with this post?” “Something is Wrong\>”, “Post is Good/Fine/Acceptable\>” might be better questions and menu labels. Yes/No for buttons are generally a bad idea as far as UX goes - active button names are usually better.

Thanks!
