| May 30, 2019 at 13:20 | comment | added | Bob | "Not An Answer" is reserved for responses that are doing things like trying to ask another question. Anything that remotely passes the very very low bar of trying to answer the question in any way (even if it's a frame challenge) does not qualify for NAA. This is the kind of situation where you could downvote/comment, but does not quite rate a flag. A poor answer is still an answer. | |
| May 30, 2019 at 12:52 | comment | added | Andreas | Again seems to me as it's not an answer | |
| May 30, 2019 at 12:52 | comment | added | Andreas | @fixer1234 in my opinion the question is not poor. He/she just have a very limited understanding of how browsers and html works. What browser is used is irrelevant since the browser needs to be able to read the data. Product recommendation, no. Since he/she as the webmaster can't control the users it's not a product recommendation. If OP was a user of the page wanting to limit his/her access to the source code then yes it's a product recommendation. In the help section 'how to write a good answer": The answer can be “don’t do that”, but it should also include “try this instead”. | |
| May 30, 2019 at 10:04 | comment | added | fixer1234 | The underlying problem is that the question is poor. Without specifying the browser, the question is either too broad or a request for a product recommendation, or something that can technically be answered with the original version of that answer. | |
| May 30, 2019 at 10:04 | comment | added | fixer1234 | @Andreas, I agree with n8te. The original answer content was an answer to the question, just not a very good quality one. It wouldn't qualify for either flag. It was technically an answer, so NAA doesn't apply. VLQ is reserved for posts that contain nothing that can even be improved. Flags are generally for situations that require moderator intervention; things that can't be handled by the normal user tools. The original answer content could have been downvoted and/or commented, which is appropriate for issues of general low quality (mods don't judge quality). (cont'd) | |

| May 30, 2019 at 8:29 | comment | added | n8te | Maybe not on the mobile version? I don't know. But I see that option on my PC clear as day right now. | |

| May 30, 2019 at 8:26 | comment | added | n8te | It still exists. I just checked now. "Very Low Quality - This answer has severe formatting or content problems. This answer is unlikely to be salvageable through editing, and might need to be removed. " | |
| May 30, 2019 at 8:25 | comment | added | Andreas | @n8te low quality??? And where is that flag? Have you looked at the flag options lately? Spam, rude or abusive, NAA, in need of moderator. That is the options you got. There is no low quality anymore, it had been removed. Don't get me wrong, I also think it would have been more appropriate for an answer like that to be posted as a comment instead of an answer then why not flag that you think it should be a comment? | |
| May 30, 2019 at 8:25 | comment | added | n8te | Don't get me wrong, I also think it would have been more appropriate for an answer like that to be posted as a comment instead of an answer, which is why I would have downvoted it, but from what I've read on numerous meta posts I think the NAA flag still doesn't apply to it. | |
| May 30, 2019 at 8:21 | comment | added | n8te | The consensus seems to be that NAA flag should only be used on posts that make no attempt whatsoever to answer the question. Like when a drive-by user shows up from a google search and asks their own question on someone else's post. Or someone who posts gibberish. "You can't" is technically an answer by the loosest definition of the term. It definitely would have deserved downvotes and maybe even deletion for low quality had it not been edited, but I still think it doesn't fall under NAA. | |
| May 30, 2019 at 8:16 | comment | added | Andreas | @n8te not on superuser. But reading the NAA text it says: It should possibly be an edit, a comment, another question, or deleted altogether.. That is a comment in my opinion. One single line of nothing really is a comment. It's not a partial answer. A partial answer would be make your own browser, you can read this documention on how to build your own browser [link] . It's not a good partial answer, but it is a partial answer. | |
| May 30, 2019 at 8:11 | comment | added | n8te | I believe mods here do look at the history and don't just blindly decline flags based only on its current form. The example you linked to was an answer. It was a terrible answer that deserved a downvote in its original form, but technically it was an answer. That flag would have been declined even if the person who answered it didn't edit it with additional content. Do you have another example of a real "not an answer" that you flagged that was later edited and your flag was declined? | |
