Flags were already aligned, yes meant there was a problem consistently before the change. The outlier where the logic flipped was post and user approvals.

An alternative approach we could consider is completely abandoning the the yes/no framing for approvals and using approve/deny instead while keeping the ordering consistent so deny is in the same position as the “yes” flag action.
