Without moderator tools, you may have to recommend deletion and load the answer separately in order to flag it. Otherwise, you can just flag the deleted answer. But I think in most cases, if an answer has already been deleted by the community and/or a moderator, then it may not be worth undeleting and converting it to a comment. This kind of conversion is not always a priority, and users with less than 50 rep shouldn't be encouraged to post answers as comments and having them converted. | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 18:11 | comment | added | Nick Udell | Can we do that from within the review queue? I couldn't see an option. | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 18:10 | comment | added | Jamal Mod | Flagging such a thing for moderation attention is okay, especially if you need to specify further information to support your reasoning. | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 18:03 | comment | added | Nick Udell | Good point. Would an option then to simply flag it for conversion so a moderator can see it in some sort of "answers that should be comments" query be a good plan, or is it too seldom a situation to demand it? | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 18:02 | comment | added | Jamal Mod | Moderators are mostly in charge of reviewing comments in general, which is why only they can see deleted ones. If the community converts a bad answer into a bad comment (which can still happen), then it'll be harder to track it down. | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 17:06 | comment | added | Nick Udell | Which I would consider to be a privilege. | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 15:47 | comment | added | Jamal Mod | Sufficient privileges? Only diamond moderators can convert answers to comments. | |

| Nov 21, 2014 at 13:31 | comment | added | Nick Udell | @Pimgd it wasn't the one (it was reviewed about 10 mins ago), but it's a good example I guess. | |
| Nov 21, 2014 at 13:26 | comment | added | Vogel612 | Recommend deletion usually does the trick well enough... if you're feeling lucky you can even choose the "this should be a comment" auto-comment.. | |
