I noticed some situations lately where answers which (in my opinion) where wrong, but nonetheless were upvoted by some guy - be it through insufficient knowledge, not reading properly or just giving an upvote because the answer appeared in the "first answer" tab and this is the easiest thing to earn a review (sadly, this case seems to happen quite often lately).
Now I can downvote the answer and comment on it. Nonetheless the person might not remove the answer because it's still a reputation win, even with 4 downvotes. With an even count of down- and upvotes (in most cases max. 1 upvote) the answer also might not even be noticed as bad answer, because it's still at score 0. Those answers can be dangerous to people who don't have the skills to judge all the answers.
In the moderator tools I can recommend a Deletion of such an answer.
Now outside the Tools I don't have this option. Also, I can't flag it because it I will get a declined - flags should not be used to indicate technical inaccuracies, or an altogether wrong answer
.
Now what exactly am I supposed to do in such cases?
EDIT: I think an option is badly needed to recommend! (for users which don't have 20k rep) deletions outside the Tools section to raise the quality of the answers again - as far as I know recommeding deletions is a process which does not put additional work on the Moderators.

link in the review queue for those users who have vote to delete privileges, correct?delete
link below every answer. Flagging will put it in the low quality review queue.
