The last part of that I sometimes ignore: I find it polite to explain why I flagged something because the submitter might not figure why it got trashed :) (and if nothing else that stops a later "Why?" thread).

(and for the record I flagged this too for other reasons) EDIT: I suspect apu flagged it for being "lame" because it was a self-submission.

I left a comment for the exact reason you describe. However, I flagged it because it was a zero-content post, not because of the self-submission (although obviously that didn't help).

yeh sorry I misphrased: I was thinking the fact it was a self submission too tipped the balance to flag it (it did for me: I was kinda assuming by extension - my bad)
