I've just accidentally shot someone!

Options
Well, not shot them exactly. It's the hair-trigger 'Spam' button which I brushed across while moving my finger on the touch-pad. The next thing I know, I'm being thanked for reporting spam. I know I can (and did) un-report it, but it concerns me that I could have thought, "What the hell", and not bothered, or not seen it at all.

Can we have a confirmation box when spam is reported?

    It was more than a box - it was fullscreen.

    A box asking me to confirm that I wanted to report spam!

    What is wrong with that? If you made a mistake, you already know you can undo it.

    Suppose you make 99 correct spam reports and 1 mistaken report. The way it is, you click the spam button 100 times and undo once. [101 clicks] The way you want to do it, you must click spam 99 times and confirm 99 times and you click spam once in error. [199 clicks].

    I prefer it the way it is.

    I have wasted 2 minutes reading this thread and want my life back at least 2 minutes of it ;)

    There is no problem here, time to move on
