My first flag after 877 approved moderator attention flags was declined, and I'm following up to understand what was wrong with my action.

I flagged [this answer][1], which includes a *thank you* statement with a loosely coupled statement about visual studio:

> ![answer][2]

Even though it was deleted by a moderator, my flag was declined:

> ![flag][3]

Conservative with my flags, is this an oversight or was I too hasty in flagging this as not an answer?
