Jul 14, 2012 at 21:59 comment added Shog9 Recommend Deletion prioritizes deletion of the post. Right now, that just means pushing it up in the queue for folks who can delete it; in the future, it may do more. We're watching carefully to see how it's used... FWIW: "not an answer" flags effectively meant deletion in most cases - if a moderator responded (instead of three 20K users) they could convert to a comment, but unless you're flagging for bogus reasons, that not-an-answer is gonna go away. You should take both of them seriously for that reason.
Jul 14, 2012 at 21:55 comment added Jeff Mercado I believe I read somewhere that "recommending deletion" only pushes the post up in one of the queues so it's more likely that someone who can cast delete votes will see it and possibly vote. No guarantees that it will be voted on though.
Jul 14, 2012 at 21:53 comment added Simon Sheehan @hardmath I added a few examples. I would also want to know what Recommend Deletion does though. It doesnt create a flag.

Jul 14, 2012 at 18:39 comment added hardmath Bear in mind these "low quality posts" have already been flagged, by algorithmic criteria. Deletion is a more extreme sanction than downvoting, or (in the case of questions) closing. Perhaps you could describe what flags would be useful in reviewing these.
