Return to Question

Whilst reviewing the VLQ queue, I came across a question which I thought should be closed:

In my view the VLQ flag was appropriate, so I would Recommend closure.

However, as I don't have the vote to close privilege, recommending closure instead opens a dialog to raise another flag:

From here, I am not 100% certain, since this queue is already dealing with a flag. Without more information from the poster of the original question (or re-framing as "I am having problem Y and have tried ABC to solve it, how can I proceed?") it doesn't seem to be a good fit for SU and as such should be closed.

As it happens I flagged as Unclear to clear the review item, which was apparently helpful.

Re-flagging a VLQ-flagged post seems like a cop out- won't this send to another queue, presumably with less people available to review?¹

But if this is the desired workflow I am happy to keep doing this. As a side note, I'm not sure where that flag goes! Can anyone clarify?

^{1: Thanks to Ramhound for clarifying in comments that Close -> reasons are the same as Recommend Closure flags in this case. The question's scope is now about workflow and what de-mystifying what happens when a flag is raised}
