As indicated in this answer, one of the standard, predefined responses available to diamond Moderators when declining a flag is:
Declined - a moderator reviewed your flag, but found no evidence to support it
Apart from changing the initial "d" to "D", this has been available since at least June 7, 2012, when it was mentioned in Explanation why a flag was declined.
There are several questions on this site regarding its usage, such as the one I mentioned above, as well as Not an answer flags declined, why?, Has the disputed flag message changed?, A moderator declined your flag, Reasons to decline flag, Flag deemed not helpful but was, Confusing declined flags: proposed actions taken despite declining, Explanation why a flag was declined, etc. However, I couldn't find any posts asking to change its specific wording, with A moderator declined your flag that I mentioned above being closest, due to it stating:
No evidence? Are you serious? ...
I believe that, in most cases where this decline reason is used, the person who raised the flag had an honest belief the flag was appropriate, indicating there is some evidence, which likewise many Moderators may also notice and understand. As such, in those cases as well as other ones, the actual issue is actually more appropriately that the Moderator has found "insufficient" evidence, rather than finding "no" evidence at all. As such, I propose changing "no" to either "insufficient" or another similar term. Thus, the updated text (with the change emphasized) would be:
Declined - a moderator reviewed your flag, but found insufficient evidence to support it
Although I'm requesting just a one word alteration, I feel that it provides an important perception change. The current wording implies that, as far as the Moderator can determine, the person is completely incorrect, rather than just the person possibly having a reasonable point, but there's a disagreement about whether or not the minimum requirements for the flag to be considered valid have been met.
