I believe a moderator deleted my answer without reading it thoroughly.

Direct link to the now deleted answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/77964098/1426539

Since 2011, this topic received a lot of answers, including mine. I recently added a comment about a new gitconfig feature and it was deleted. No previous answers addressed this, as this is a new feature.

    There is a comment by the moderator explaining the rationale for the deletion. and you still have a non-deleted identical answer here: stackoverflow.com/a/77964090/1426539. Considering these facts, what would be the basis for your "appeal"? Please, edit your question to include your arguments, if any.

    Also, please note that the "without reading it thoroughly" assertion is rather unconstructive. Especially on an answer that short. It only shows that you haven't read the comment under the deleted answer, or deliberately ignored it.

    Also I'd complain about you not reading the answers to that question throughly. What point does you answer add that is not already covered in the existing ones? For example this one covers your points.

    "I recently added a comment about a new gitconfig feature and it was deleted." Nit pick, but comments are something entirely different (this you are reading now, is a comment). Ironically, had your "comment" been an actual comment, then it likely wouldn't have been deleted.

    "I recently added a comment" - If your answer was deleted, and it was a comment, then the answer was properly deleted due to the fact it was a comment. So are you complaining about your deleted answer or deleted comment?

  • @AbdulAzizBarkat FWIW here is related feature request: When there are many answers already, help me check that mine won't repeat others. Guess this would be particularly useful on a question discussed here (which currently shows 50 non-deleted answers)

Your answer (which is not a comment) got deleted. Apparently, because you posted that same answer to multiple questions:

If you disagree, you can appeal this deletion by flagging your answer with a custom moderator message. Make sure you include a good reason, other than "I disagree". You'll need to explain why the answer warrants undeletion.
