Jan 25, 2011 at 20:32 comment added user8 @Michael if there is something egregiously wrong with the post such that it simply can't stay open until it reaches 5 close votes or until a moderator stumbles upon it, close and flag. But in those cases, flagging for the normal close reasons doesn't tell moderators why the post is so bad, so we might not see what the problem is. In borderline cases where there are no close votes, moderators generally won't close a post, so while you can flag a borderline post, it's likely nothing will come of it.
