I had flagged the (now deleted) question as spam. I had not flagged the question as "not welcome in our community". And, for what it's worth, I had not added a custom flag, so... that part's right.

    Interesting. Maybe this has to do with the fact that both of these are red flags; I wonder if they both count toward the same deletion threshold? Meaning three spam and three offensive would cause auto deletion just as six spam xor six offensive would.

  • The flags are stored separately internally, but I believe they count towards the same threshhold.

  • @BoltClock'saUnicorn: .. six spam xor six offensive => six spam ⊕ six offensive ?

  • Any update on this? With the very recent flag changes this is very obvious to me now.
