If it's not a non-answer, but just an answer that's factually incorrect (where a downvote would be best), it shouldn't be flagged, otherwise it will be rejected. | |

So of course flagging is OK. For users who have the privileges but are not entirely sure, flagging and/or discussing on chat/meta is a viable option. | |
| Jan 28, 2014 at 21:01 | comment | added | ChrisW | That's why this meta-post exists: to discuss a flagged answer, where I didn't know whether I should agree with the flag. I was inclined to agree with the flag if "no code-only" was an agreed policy, otherwise inclined to disagree with the flag. | |

| Jan 28, 2014 at 20:37 | comment | added | ChrisW | So in summary, I think you're saying downvote but don't flag code-only answers. And, usually flag link-only answers; but other short answers may be fine. | |
