Question

Just to be sure; something is flagged when it´s against rules but...down-votes? I can imagine answers but what about questions...?

Comments

I normally downvote just retarded questions, that may not break rules, but really shouldn't be a question.

" Where can I catch a Patrat in Pokemon Black version? "

You've almost immediately earned my downvote, unless it's by a brand new user, then I'll comment about these sort of things being easy to look up, Blah blah blah.

Nice, THX ;)

Answer 1

For questions:

• Flag it if the question is against the rules.
• Vote it down if the question is bad in another way, for example terrible spelling, impossible to understand etc. In your case though you can just edit it if possible :)

For answers:

• Flag it if the answer is inappropriate in some way or breaks the rules (e.g. it's not an actual answer and should be a comment).
• Vote down if the answer is incorrect. (Side note: on the RMT section only vote down answers if they're really bad, because some answers may not be great but still not technically wrong.)

For comments:

• They should be flagged if they are rude or insulting for no reason. For example if an answer is bad you might downvote it and post a polite comment saying that it's wrong. But saying "you're dumb" or stuff like that is not welcome here and should be flagged.
• Also comments should be reasonably on-topic relating to the question or answer. A random comment like "hey what's your favourite Pokemon" should be taken to the chat.

How about for comments?

@ Conkeldude1

Not really, you aren't supposed to be rude to other users, but a seemingly rude comment doesn't need to be flagged.

OK updated with a few points on comments. Yes, insulting comments should be flagged.

" For no reason "
I take it, if someone gives me crappy advice on a team and I tell them pretty much exactly why it's crappy advice, and that it is crappy advice, that's not something to be flagged, right?

I Prefer To Flag Rather Than Down-Vote...
