This question has been addressed elsewhere. See: Provide standardised report reasons for comments.

This question was closed; new answers can no longer be added. Users with the Vote on Holds ability may vote to reopen this question if it has been improved or closed incorrectly.

As pointed out in a comment on a post about comment flagging, currently comment flags only allow entering a free text message, not selecting an option such as spam or abusive.

Please could we have a list of standard radio buttons like when flagging a post? I'd still like to see the free text field for any additional details.

This would mean comments that are obviously spam, abusive, or outdated wouldn't need a message, just selecting a radio button.

Current comment flag dialogue box

A "Flag reason" text field and a "Flag" button

Current post flag dialogue box

A series of radio buttons for different flag reasons, followed by "Details?" text field and a "Flag for attention" button
