Sorry if I appear to whining, but it appears to me that we don't have a clear policy about reporting cross-posting. This is prompted by the following instances/examples:

It probably isn't right to draw conclusions from a sample space of 1 (I don't remember there being any other instance of a cross-post reporting flag being declined). Also, it makes no statistical difference to me whether a flag is helpful or declined, especially now, but after you have been around for as long as I have been, getting a policy incorrect seems alarming.

I think the undercurrent here seems to be that I am (we are ?) not very clear about what the official policy about reporting cross-posting on another site is. The three issues that need to be clarified here are:

• As a user, if I find an instance of cross-posting, am I supposed to flag, or simply comment and leave it there?

• Does the answer to Q1 change is there is an existing comment already?

• If somebody else 'catches it' before me, am I supposed to do nothing about this (except probably upvote that comment)?
