Was this flag declined correctly?

I flagged this post as Very Low Quality. The flag was declined.

Was this flag declined correctly?

UPDATE:
I changed the flag based on the helpful feedback by moderator Mokubai. In the interest of not making the same mistake again, I took a look at the flagging options to try to determine why I applied the incorrect flag.

Reading the question (it was part of my review queue), I realized something was wrong with it. My options were:

  • spam - no, definitely not spam
  • rude or abusive - no, definitely not
  • should be closed - well, that seemed a bit harsh; there is no real question, but as Mokubai pointed out, there is an implied question
  • a duplicate - no, none of which I was aware
  • very low quality - yes, seems to be very low quality
  • in need of moderator attention - no, nothing that severe

Consequently, given the UI presented by the StackExchange system, I made what seemed like the best choice (very low quality).

I agree with Mokubai's assessment and analysis; perhaps the StackExchange UI can be improved to help reviewers make more appropriate choices. I am willing to help, if asked.
