They were not, the request from feedback was to make everything align in direction so yes/no always mean the same thing regardless of queue item type.

So with user approvals the new framing is “is there a problem with this account” where yes would mean it doesn’t get approved. This follows the “is there a problem with this post” framing that flags use. Yes always means “yes, there is a problem” now.

If the new structure for approvals is causing issues, we’ll have to consider further changes… which at this point will likely be moving away from the yes/no framing entirely.
