| Dec 23, 2021 at 17:15 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | @LSpice The post actually was closed and then reopened. So I thought that your comment might have been deleted when together with the closure. But since you say that your comment did not contain any link, the mechanism I described above clearly does not apply. (As a side note, would maybe (deletions) be suitable here as a tag?) | |

| Dec 22, 2021 at 15:36 | comment | added | Gerry Myerson | @Martin, I might have been thinking of math.stackexchange, where there is a chatroom for bringing things to the attention of moderators. Or, flagging a random post for moderator attention. | |
| Dec 22, 2021 at 14:48 | comment | added | LSpice | Thanks, @StefanKohl! Can you leave that as an answer so I can mark it accepted, or should I just close this question? | |
| Dec 22, 2021 at 14:28 | comment | added | Stefan Kohl Mod | I deleted that comment in response to a 'no longer needed' flag, as it did not contain much concrete information (in contrast to Carlo Beenakker's response). Thus, to answer your question -- the comment was in no way inappropriate. | |
| Dec 22, 2021 at 14:23 | comment | added | LSpice | @MartinSleziak, that suggestion makes sense, but I'm not sure it applies—the post isn't closed, and my comment literally just asked whether it was a duplicate; I didn't supply a link because I couldn't find one. But maybe it was closed and re-opened? | |
| Dec 22, 2021 at 8:03 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | @GerryMyerson I will just add that every question on meta automatically makes a notification in the moderator inbox (as confirmed by Todd Trimble). When you suggested to contact the moderator directly, did you mean the email address [email protected]? | |
| Dec 22, 2021 at 6:17 | comment | added | Martin Sleziak | Is it possible that the comment was deleted automatically by the system? This is a rather old post, the behavior might have changed since then: Don't delete comments with link to duplicate if they are modified. According to that post, at the time it worked like this: "Any comment that contains the word "duplicate" and a link to another question is deleted when a question is closed. " | |
