    I'm not seeing this "deleted as very low quality" option in flag dialogs anywhere. But I understand R/A flags to be intended for posts that are complete nonsense or vandalism - not for good faith attempts at a question or answer that are simply illegible. The wording for the R/A flag should be revised. It's not clear to me that we ever really needed VLQ flags - except as a way to get curators to cast "Unclear" close votes on questions or delete votes on answers.

    @KarlKnechtel You'll only see it on posts with score <= 0 and less than a week old (and probably a few other conditions I fail to recall right now). That hasn't changed, this is just a UI / wording update.

    R/A flags carry a -100 reputation penalty if validated, that may be too harsh for certain cases. I like the VLQ flag for posts that are more or less trying to answer the question (so NAA is not appropriate) but are better off being deleted by the community via the LQP review queue. VLQ for questions can certainly be removed: meta.stackexchange.com/q/195673/295232

  • I know so many people who are offspring of Hanlon, if they made a great choice it would be by random accident; same as all their other decisions. Sometimes it's got to be a gut feeling, and not allowing them to be saved by Hanlon. -- Example: New account & VLQ question or answer which incorporates links which in no way improve the random post, that's spam (to me). There would have to be at least a tiny value in the Q or A and the link would have to be a necessity to get off with a warning and no suspension; a great Q or A would be warn only.
