Are flags raised for custom reasons handled differently?
As a mod? We handle things the same way, though of course, the exact course of action may depend on the mod.

Flagging a comment which links to a picture of the question
Reading through all the comments, and the edit history it makes sense - basically the question rendered with what OP assumed to be B+W wingdingish charecters as emoji. See the rest of the comments, an …

What's wrong with my NAA flag, if the answer is now deleted?
I didn't handle the flag so, I think I can handle this with some fresh eyes.
I'd start by saying the wording on the original question could be interpreted both ways. I read it as he wants to set a s …

Why was my "not an answer" flag rejected?

Admittedly - I did have a late night, and was bleary eyed. How did you guess? If I felt I was too zonked out to process flags, I wouldn't - I had reasons.

ChatGPT - what do we flag as?
I'd go with a custom flag. If you've run it through a chat gpt tester, mentioning it's always handy.
We also tend to suspend chatgpt users and custom flags are always human-handled, unlike say spam fl …

Why was this flag declined by a moderator?
Well on review - I think converting to a comment would have been the appropriate thing. Mistakes were made, and I've done the necessary.

Flag was declined but the question was deleted all the same
SF deleted it when I checked. No action was needed on SU.
As such, no moderator intervention was needed
