If it's something the community can do, flag with a community handled flag or comment. If a moderator took action and the reason is fixed, they'll want to know. It just isn't something for getting around the normal procedures. | |

| Aug 10, 2017 at 5:28 | comment | added | AJ Henderson Mod | @user1118321 the key distinction is if moderators are already involved. If the community closes something a moderator is unlikely to reopen unless something is very wrong. If a moderator closed it though, then it's something we were planning on coming back to anyway. The idea is generally to let the community handle what it can, but moderators step in when either the community can't handle it or it needs to be handled quickly. | |

| Aug 10, 2017 at 5:09 | comment | added | user1118321 | Thanks for the info. I had flagged something for re-open on a different stack exchange site and it was rejected with the comment that I shouldn't use flagging for that purpose. So that's why I didn't flag it. Color me confused! | |
