| Jan 15, 2014 at 5:31 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | @userunknown Users don't need 3000 rep to flag as a duplicate. Users need 3000 rep to vote to close a question. Users without sufficient reputation to vote to close questions may flag to close questions. Users with enough reputation to vote to close cannot flag to close questions (attempting to do so results in simply voting to close). What the OP here did was to raise a custom flag, which in effect is a way to circumvent the usual process by which 3k+ rep users signal questions as meriting closure. Sometimes such circumvention is appropriate but usually it is unnecessary. | |
