I just flagged this question, got invalid flag and some time later the question was closed? I got -10 flag weight to a closed question? Could someone verify?

You flagged for migration to Server Fault or Security.

We have to remember the number one rule in migrations: Don't migrate crap.

It was dismissed as invalid on that reason.

It was given a few more seconds to see if it would improve. In that time, it was flagged as NARQ.

It was later closed as not a real question.

  • What im meaning is: Should I get -10 flag weight loss penalty for flagging a question that anyway got closed? I think at least the -10 penality would be removed...

    You wanted the question be migrated when it failed quality control. Dismissed as invalid. Flag weight drops. Another flag was to close it. Dismissed as valid. If a question is bad or doesn't deserve to live, flag as that. Not to move it somewhere else where it will be closed. @dio
