Aug 11, 2016 at 20:37 comment added Pilot6 I do not overestimate that small "experiment". For me everything is quite clear now. And I think the discussion was useful for moderators too.
Aug 11, 2016 at 20:34 comment added Shog9 Sorry for the late comment, but this came up in a mod discussion @Pilot6: be careful with "experiments"; it's easy to draw the wrong conclusions from a too-small sample size. We've got some folks running flagging experiments (on SO and elsewhere) right now to train content classifiers, and they involve hundreds to thousands of flags before attaining much in the way of accuracy. Ideally, if you're gonna experiment then you'll be open and rigorous about it - document what you're doing up-front, keep detailed records. Example: meta.stackoverflow.com/q/280546
Aug 9, 2016 at 16:51 comment added Pilot6 I would have commented. But this was an experiment to see if the flag is accepted.
Aug 9, 2016 at 16:50 comment added Shog9 Then there's no problem.
Aug 9, 2016 at 16:50 comment added Pilot6 That was my NAA flag.
Aug 9, 2016 at 16:46 comment added Pilot6 Finally got the idea.
Aug 9, 2016 at 15:33 comment added Shog9 Perfectly understandable and clearly not an answer, @Pilot6. Also deleted, by review, in response to a NAA flag. You can't downvote now because it's deleted; otherwise you could. You can and should also flag as NAA in the "not-deleted-yet" scenario, unless you're motivated to edit or feel like leaving a comment and hoping for the best. If you're still confused, then forget the term "link-only answer" - folks routinely use it for things that aren't. Just ask, "is this an answer?" and follow your conscience.
Aug 9, 2016 at 15:27 comment added Pilot6 Or should I downvote?
Aug 9, 2016 at 15:27 comment added Pilot6 So, a LOA is NAA or VLQ? I did not get it. If there is NO information, except a link like this perfect example askubuntu.com/a/809716/167850 what is it? I think it is a poor attempt to answer.
