If the program only asks at certain times, people might (1) always answer no if it asks a lot when it shouldn't, (2) always answer yes because they think that's being suggested, or (3) assume their post doesn't need to be flagged if they're not asked.
Why not just always have a box that lets a poster flag their post?
