@MartinSleziak: Ah. I think you've answered my question. I was thinking specifically about questions of very low quality, which I vote to close and then sometimes also flag as "very low quality". If I understand you correctly, those flags are disappearing into the ether, because I've already voted to close. And in that case, of course, there's no point in flagging. — Steven Landsburg 20 hours ago

Thanks. I was in fact asking about VLQ flags. So the question should have been: For posts that are sufficiently low quality that they're likely to be closed in a hurry in any event, would other users prefer that I flag them as VLQ, or does that just clutter up the review queue? — Steven Landsburg 14 hours ago
