This now-deleted question consisted entirely of this text:

Stackoverflow is Thinking add the IA to the webpage for users assist ?

Nothing, I know they are going to fight to close this question.

I went to close-vote it (it was closed just before) and voted to delete it. But also flagged it with a custom flag saying:

This reads as trolling close-voters to me.

This was on the theory that a moderator could have a quiet word, or if the account was known to the moderators they could take a more significant appropriate action.

It was declined with:

Using standard flags helps us prioritize problems and resolve them faster. Please familiarize yourself with the list of standard flags: see What is Flagging?

The only standard flag that seems related is Rude or abusive, and I've had R/A flags declined for things that were much ruder than this question, so I've since reserved it for really outrageously rude things. Passive-aggressive trolling didn't seem to rise to the level.

What standard flag would have been appropriate, or was there no call for a flag at all? Just so I know for next time.
