Comment on When should a post be flagged?

Comments

A post should be flagged if in a foreign language, spam, or abuse. If it's wrong, it should just be downvoted. If it's off-topic, it maybe should be downvoted. If it's deliberately off-topic, maybe it should be flagged.

That's kind of the standards I use. But there's no hard-and-fast rule (that I recall) about when and how. We're allowed some discernment and judgment.
