Jan 6, 2013 at 22:40 comment added user9517 Mod @ChrisS: It looks like declining the first flag declines all flags thrown on a post - interesting. I too would like to see VLQ removed especially as it is most often thrown without any evidence of attempting to improve the post by for example leaving a comment requesting a fix up by the OP, downvoting etc.

Jan 6, 2013 at 15:59 comment added Chris S Mod +1 Spam flags show up in the 10K view. Offensive are Mod only. But that was actually 3 flags, two for offensive and another for very low quality. I declined the 'very low quality' flag as I couldn't see any way to improve the answer and I didn't think it was so bad that it needed to be deleted. I wish they'd get rid of the VLQ flag as it's rarely helpful. I don't know what happened to the offensive flags (it doesn't say...). Perhaps it could be removed on grounds of being wholly unprofessional?
Jan 6, 2013 at 14:16 comment added sysadmin1138 Mod The flag-text reads: This answer contains content that a reasonable person would consider offensive, abusive, or hate speech. This is not a flag for, technically wrong to the point of offense. It is a flag for Egregious lack of decorum and poor judgment in language.
Jan 6, 2013 at 14:06 comment added sysadmin1138 Mod Spam flags are shown in the 10K tools view, Offensive is another animal though.
