Per this MSE post:

When should I flag a comment?

image of flag dialog

You must specify a reason for each comment flag. The dialog offers a few pre-filled reasons that cover most common cases:

  • It contains harassment, bigotry, or abuse.

    The comment attacks a person or group.

  • It's unfriendly or unkind.

    The comment is rude or condescending.

  • It's no longer needed.

    This comment is outdated, conversational or not relevant to the post.

  • Something else.

    A problem not listed above. Try to be as specific as possible.
