Why didn't Yahoo remove the report flags from the answers as well?

Since Yahoo wants us to click on their ads, they removed the report flag from the questions on the mobile version. This necessitates opening the question in a new window, switching to desktop version, hoping that when the flag is clicked it doesn't open any ads (they open even when the flag changes color, indicating it was clicked), selecting type of abuse (abuse is abuse, just get rid of it), adding details if necessary, submitting, closing the window, and returning to the next violation.

I want comments on the decision they made only. There is a reason for mobile versions of websites; I don't have to use a desktop site for any legitimate reason. I will not use the Spam Board as it is even more work and I will not jump through hoops and work harder than the spammers themselves.

    Probably a glitch or maybe there's something wrong with our mobile devices.

    I wrote to yahoo to ask why the flags are gone, and I was told that it shows up on their 5s.
