That's not necessarily inconsistent. A subscription would be approved, with 
"approval" connoting a more active action than accept.

OTOH accept/reject for a message makes sense since the moderator is allowing 
the message ("accepting") for distribution, but that doesn't mean the 
moderator agrees with it's contents, only that it meets whatever guidelines 
the moderator is using.

approve 1. officially agree to or accept as satisfactory.
accept 1. consent to receive (a thing offered).
