For mods all posts show an "approve" link that AFAIC does nothing since there's no subchan setting to force posts to require mod approval.

Perhaps the link has some utility I haven't encountered yet. Still this feature request should apply regardless: hide the "Approve" link unless the post actually requires approval.

Thanks for info. I'm guessing that means that if a post gets reported a mod can hit Approve to clear the reported status? Still doesn't seem to justify having the approve link there if a post hasn't been reported.

If a post is getting spam reported, you can just click Approve to clear reports for that post and stop future reports.

Does that preclude some "if { post = $reported } then { show($approveLink) }" type action though?

nah you can approve a post from the get-go, like reddit.
