Yesterday I saw this question: SELECT max value with each group without summing - SQL and after examining the code I voted to be closed as:

Not reproducible or was caused by a typo

and also left the comment:

Can you reproduce your issue with sample data in a fidle: dbfiddle.uk/vRbqFpk_?

The question received 3 answers (their quality or validity is not important).

Today, the user that asked the question, left this comment:

Congrats, guys! There are no errors in the query I posted. It was a trick question to evaluate how the answers would come out. Tks for sharing your knowledge!

Since this is the first time I see such a case and although it feels like I should simply raise a flag about this question (which should fall under in need of moderator intervention), I'm asking if there should be any other/different action about it.

Nothing more is needed than what you have already done.

The question was not reproducible and was closed as such, so the system worked in this case.

If a user makes a habit of wasting contributor time for fun, raise a moderator flag against him, but for a one-off case, I don't think it is needed.
