| Apr 16, 2017 at 19:15 | comment | added | fixer1234 | If you encounter it in the LQP queue, it's already in a deletion review queue, so flagging there doesn't add anything. | |
| Apr 16, 2017 at 19:15 | comment | added | fixer1234 | @bertieb, yeah, it isn't uncommon to see questions in the close vote queue with no close votes. Answers can't be closed, only deleted, and that takes votes by 20K users. It's been a while since I researched this, but my recollection is that "Not an answer" flags route answers to the low quality posts queue. <20K users enrich the queue by clearing answers that are OK. At 20K, you can directly vote to delete on the post rather than flagging. <20K, "Not an answer" flagging is fine from the main page or First Posts or Late Answers queues. (cont'd) | |
| Apr 16, 2017 at 18:40 | comment | added | bertieb | Fair enough! Now that the close queue doesn't number in the hundreds it's harder to tell, but I've not yet seen a close queue question without a close vote. Time will tell. Does the advice still stand for it not being worth flagging a not-answer "not an answer" ? (can ask/search for a separate Q on that) | |
| Apr 16, 2017 at 15:26 | comment | added | fixer1234 | My previous comment was inaccurate (correctly described in the answer). >3K votes on a post put the post in a queue if it isn't already there. | |

| Sep 17, 2015 at 7:42 | comment | added | bertieb | Ah right, I am beginning to see what you are getting at! I guess that explains why the "Close Votes" queue usually numbers in the hundreds compared to the others. Thanks for going into the detail of behind the scenes! | |
| Sep 12, 2015 at 17:05 | comment | added | fixer1234 | (cont'd) Think of it more as an assembly line, where qualified users decide which bucket identified posts should be in, and higher rep users do the finishing work on the closure bucket. Under 3K rep, using the moderator flag link is the only thing that puts a post into a queue. Everything else contributes to getting it out. | |
| Sep 12, 2015 at 17:05 | comment | added | fixer1234 | @bertieb: The menus have a limited number of selections, so they are organized as broad categories with sub-menus to provide the granularity. (There's also ongoing refinement.) Most of what you're calling flagging is just selecting a reason. You're visualizing the process as your voting moves the post to another queue. It's really that the post is already in the queue, where users at different rep levels work on it in different ways. (cont'd) | |
| Sep 12, 2015 at 11:42 | comment | added | bertieb | A very detailed explanation of the process, which is exactly what I'm looking for! If flagging VLQ'd questions (NB <3k VLQ answers get "Recommend deletion" without further flags) bumps them into/up the Close Votes queue that sounds like a good path. One thing though, I can still flag as "very low quality" manually- perhaps that was only removed from >3k? I also didn't realise the extent to which the VLQ queue was auto-populated, so I've learned much from this! | |
