I tried to flag this spam deleted question to ask for the poster to be deleted as well (as the account seems to have been created for the purpose of spamming only). Unfortunately, when I click "Flag", I get an error popup saying "Unable to load popup - please try again" (I've tried multiple times since it was deleted over 3 hours ago).
In the browser console, I see an error 500 on GET https://stackoverflow.com/error. This is preceded by a GET request to https://stackoverflow.com/flags/posts/79753190/popup?loadedTimestamp=1756809654730&_=1756809654626 which receives a 302 to /error.
This could be a duplicate of Flag pop-up does not work in deleted question, except on the question linked there, I can open the flag popup.
It might be specific to this question, as I also tried other spam deleted questions, and there the popup opens just fine as well.
Specifically:

I'm using Firefox 142 on Windows 11.
As this seems to be specific to my user account, as an additional data point, I didn't immediately realise it was spam, so I voted to close (asking for recommendations) before flagging as spam.
