I have flagged this post for not being an answer: Checking NVRAM on BootUpChecking NVRAM on BootUp

The flag was declined, as "flags should not be used to indicate technical inaccuracies, or an altogether wrong answer". I am new to SU and I'm still finding the line on what's an answer or not :-)

Now, this is not the first flag I make where this happens (it's the second). But this time, I can't see why this is an answer. This is a user saying "it happened to me too", and describing his situation. It is related to the question, unlike other situations I've seen.

But is this considered an answer just because it's related to the question, or am I missing something in my assessment?

Thanks!

Better understanding "not an answer" flags
