Q:

Has there been a change in how flags are reviewed?

Recently my flags about "low quality answer" started being declined. So much so that I am now banned from flagging. All that is fine, except I don't think I made any change in how I review flags.
An example of this are "late answers" with the following structure:

[Your problem] MIGHT be happening because of [some reason]. Have you tried [Suggestion]?

This looks to me like a comment. It asks for more information and suggests some possible thing that might be causing the issue. It's just two sentences. So in the past I flagged all answers like this as "low quality" and majority of them were closed with "this is a comment not an answer to the question".
But now all they are being declined with "inaccurate or wrong answers shouldn't be flagged" reason. Is there any new policy I missed or just some coincidence?

A:

Comments are intended to be used to...

Request clarification from the author;
Leave constructive criticism that guides the author in improving the post;
Add relevant but minor or transient information to a post (e.g. a link to a related question, or an alert to the author that the
  question has been updated).

An answer that tries to answer the question (identifying a likely cause for the problem, suggesting a solution) doesn't fall into any of those categories; it may be wrong, but it's still an answer.
