Flag declined dude!
Seriously?
"Declined dude, use standard flags"
Trying to be helpful here. The post wasn't quite rude, just a rant, like I mentioned. Is this the style to get people behave like you have in mind?

I see this a lot, an answer is posted which is a link-only one for instance, it is flagged up as such, but then someone edits the answer to include the information at the link (or similar) and then ...

Why was this flag declined?
My very low quality flag was declined by a moderator on this answer.
Why? It is just a link and the OP won't make any effort to improve it.

"Very low quality" vs "should be closed ---> unclear what you're asking" flags
