| Mar 4, 2013 at 3:04 | comment | added | tchrist | This is a real problem with link-only non-answers: it depends completely on the whim on the moderator servicing the flag. There is no set of objective criteria that one can apply, either as a flag submitter or a flag “servicer”, to these link-only non-answers. I feel this is a real problem. I do not see how link-only answers enrich SO, or the Net in general, either. I do not understand why they are tolerated by a few here, especially given how many do not tolerate them. We should have a policy, and we don’t. | |

| Nov 7, 2012 at 15:35 | comment | added | BoltClock's a Unicorn Mod | If it's a 100% link-only answer, there is no need to use a custom flag. Just flag as "not an answer". It doesn't get any simpler than that. | |
