The question is about this answer: Why did this python list get passed by value?
It contains a gibberish text that is in no way related to the question and a link to a crypto exchange website. For me, this is obviously spam, so I marked the answer with the appropriate reason.
Then I got a rejection for the flag with the generic rejection reason "Rejected - a moderator reviewed your assessment but found no evidence". This was not only very surprising for me, but also disappointing and demotivating.
Yes, the answer has been deleted by the author in the meantime, but that should not be a reason to reject the flag. So could someone please explain to me why this flag was rejected? Or was this a mistake on the part of the moderator? A mistake which, I should note, shows up negatively in my flagging history.
