Hi all. :) The question "Vulnerability scanner for Windows?" was closed and deleted. (It's still mirrored here.) Since it's deleted, I can't see the close reason anymore. What was the close reason?

@unforgettableid Off-topic—Product, service, or learning material recommendation

(10K users can see deleted questions)

@DragonLord ok; thank you. Can I somehow help get it migrated to softwarerecs.SE?

@unforgettableid Flagged for moderator attention.

@DragonLord Do you mean that you can't migrate it, but a mod can, and you have now flagged it so that a mod will migrate it?

Yes

I am not a mod but I can view and flag deleted posts

@DragonLord ah; thank you.

Hmmm.

[unforgettableid reads a post about migration]

It says, "Only questions which are less than 60 days old can be migrated. This rule even applies to moderators."

It looks like that rule was implemented after someone made this feature request.

Whoops

Likely my flag will get declined

Didn't check the post date

Why did I forget this?

Please flag with care

facepalm

@DragonLord It's OK. Declined flags happen all the time. It's nothing to worry about.

@unforgettableid ...but my recent record contains a large number of declined flags

@DragonLord so?

It's like I'm taking the flagging feature for granted

I'm wasting valuable moderator time each time I make a mistake

The old flag dialog said "Please flag with care" and I have completely forgotten that

@DragonLord If you want, you can make a feature request asking them to restore "Please flag with care" to the new flag dialog. :) Fine, moderator time is valuable, but evaluating one additional misflag doesn't take so long.

yup

Actually @DragonLord worries about this more than we do ;p

Don't forget, we do tell chat regulars directly when they goof on stuff ;p
