Question: I recently flagged a post on SO as "Unclear what you're asking". Afterwards, for whatever reason, I clicked `flag` again and found this:

Is there any reason it says I've raised a duplicate flag too when I'm positive I have not? Is this a bug? The question, as of 2:56 PM UTC, 11 September, 2013, has only existed for 26 minutes and the flag doesn't exist in my flag history:

**Note**: There are several similar questions:

* ["You have already raised this flag" Well, not really](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/188818/you-have-already-raised-this-flag-well-not-really)
* [No, I haven't already raised this flag (not here, anyway)](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/189288/no-i-havent-already-raised-this-flag-not-here-anyway)

The first was never answered and the second is unrelated as it appears the person asking did, in fact, raise the flag they assumed they hadn't raised.

Answer: 
I've seen worse answers. I've undeleted this one.

Worth noting: You don't have to put **EDIT** in your posts. Every post on Stack Overflow has a detailed edit history, which anyone can look at. The edit history for your answer is [here](https://stackoverflow.com/posts/18673478/revisions).

But *"maybe you should post some code"* definitely belongs in a comment, not in answers. You should try to keep such content out of your answers, if you can.

Stack Overflow moderators are only presented with an excerpt of the answer in the moderator dashboard. If "maybe you should post some code" is all they see (which suggests that your merely trying to communicate with someone, rather than answering the question), your answer is going to get deleted.
The [answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/18673478/1488917) should not have been deleted.

The answer is not a good answer, but nonetheless attempts to provide inputs and suggestions as to what the problem may have been. It should have been downvoted at most, but not deleted.

Chances are that the first line in your answer prompted the deletion:

> 
> Maybe you should post some code?
> 
> 
> 

This should not be a part of answers, but added as comments to the question.
