Whenever I go through my flagging history, I see some flags that were declined. However, I see four different messages for them:

  1. "Declined"

enter image description here

  1. "Declined - flags should only be used to make moderators aware of content that requires their intervention"

enter image description here

  1. "Declined - a moderator reviewed your flag, but found no evidence to support it"

enter image description here

  1. "Declined - flags should not be used to indicate technical inaccuracies, or an altogether wrong answer"

enter image description here

Which condition triggers one message, while another condition triggers another one?

2., 3. and 4. are the standard responses when ♦ moderators decline your post flag. They can opt to write a custom message, too.

1. can happen in multiple cases; it's the standard for a declined comment flag (♦ moderators just dismiss those if they don't agree, without an option to leave a response). This also happens when you cast a close flag and the community unanimously votes to leave the question open in the review queue.
