Also, as an experienced user, you should only be flagging for closure when you know a flag is absolutely necessary. So yes, it should be harder to flag. | |

I want to reiterate that these kinds of flags make up the majority of my 587 moderator attention flags, 552 deemed helpful... and that most of my declines were back when I was under 3K rep. This is the first decline on a "flag to close" I've ever gotten, so either it's a legit flag reason or the mods are sending me the wrong feedback in 99% of the cases.

"those who just don't know about the feature will use the other option anyways"... Do you feel that is justification for not having this (already existing for lower rep users) feature available? I get your point though about the last 2 paragraphs, but don't agree with the rest. | |
