Why was my custom flag declined for an answer which addresses a different product from the OP's question?
One of the answers for the post Disable peek in Visual Studio Code tells how to disable the requested feature in a completely different product. While Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code share a similar name, nearly everything about them, including their source code language and settings interface, are different.
To me, this is a similar situation to asking the question "How to I change the theme in Chrome" and getting the response "In Firefox, you go to the Add Ins menu." Yeah, they're both browsers, and that information might help future readers if the question had a wider scope to include both products, but the question clearly states the intended product.
I clearly think this answer is Not An Answer because oranges are not answers.
I made a custom moderator flag for the post
I recommended deleting this answer, this answer is not for Visual Studio Code, it's for Visual Studio, which is something completely different and totally unrelated to the question.
It was declined with the explaination
flags should not be used to indicate technical inaccuracies, or an altogether wrong answer.
This seems to contradict the requested behavior from the meta post What is the correct flag when an Answer does not relate to the Question, which says:
"Other" and explain clearly to the moderators that this is completely irrelevant to the question. [...]
This question is about public static Main in C#. Nothing what-so-ever about jQuery templating. The answer seems to have been posted on the wrong question completely.
Have I misunderstood something? Is the NAA status incorrect for this answer? Should I have sought standard 10k delete votes rather than flagging moderators?
