| Feb 13, 2014 at 23:38 | comment | added | user102 | @Flyto: Yes, I agree with you, the configuration of the flagging dialog box is not consistent. The only case where it can make sense to flag is when it is necessary to migrate the question, which can only be done by a mod. | |
| Feb 13, 2014 at 23:17 | comment | added | Flyto | @CharlesMorisset Hmm. OK, I understand that. It just seems a little odd that there is an option to flag for off-topic, but only if it fits one of the 3 very specific reasons. Seems inconsistent. I could understand if off-topic wasn't a flag reason at all, in which case I would just downvote... | |

| Feb 13, 2014 at 18:54 | comment | added | user102 | As a matter of fact, I'd rather you not flagging some content which is just off-topic. Whatever decision is made, it's better if it's made by the community and not by a single moderator. By all means, flag offensive content or spam, but I would avoid it when there is no emergency. | |

Added explanation of the steps taken, and a screenshot.
