I only noticed this in 7.x-3.11 but it could have been in there before that.

On node and comment screens there are flags that allow one to 'Flag as offensive' (a button) or 'Report as inappropriate'. This seems to be redundant functionality and would be confusing to users. Removing the 'Report as inappropriate' flag seems to be the easiest thing to do. The 'Flag as offensive' has the 'Follow' and 'Whitelist' buttons that match it well.

Since the Commons Content Moderation module provides and employs its own inappropriate_comment and inappropriate_node flags, the new default flags included with the Flag Abuse module should be disabled.

The attached patch adds the ability to alter default flags in Flag 2.x and uses it to disable the default flags provided by the Flag Abuse module. Since the Flag module automatically copies all default views into the database, an update function is provided to refresh the database views, allowing the alterations to take effect.

Tested #1 with an existing Commons install and verified that the default Flag Abuse flags were disabled.

Thanks Devin. I guess I went the wrong direction with my changes. I'll have to switch it back. I think I can just revert the Commons Moderation feature and remove my overrides.
