I answered this question. My answer was accepted as correct, and then a moderator deleted it. I read the "Why was my question deleted?" FAQs and it didn't match any category. Any help here?

Here is the image of the deleted answer for non 10K+ users:

  • Could you provide your actual answer for non-10k users to see? Also that's for questions, not answers. See stackoverflow.com/help/deleted-answers for answers.

    Agree with @NullPoiиteя here, flagged to ask for undeletion.

    So what is the real reason for deleting in the first place then? Accidental?

    @Bolu an accident is the only thing that makes sense to me there. I have no other idea why I would have deleted that. Apologies to achase90!

    @NullPoiиteя haha! Related point: I've stopped posting 'answers' to these questions about my fat-fingers, because I feel it's unfair that I get reputation out of my mistakes (or, admitting them, I guess!) and I don't think CommWiki is meant for just avoiding rep. Also related point: I really do handle flags much more carefully than something like this would suggest! Honest!!

    You're slipping @AndrewBarber. We all make mistakes, but we don't get caught. Oh well, you're still new, you'll learn... ;P

  • I don't think there's anything wrong with getting an upvote when you admin that you've made a mistake. Without an answer this question continues to remain technically unanswered, and I'd think it would be better if it would be answered when it actually is (and fixed as well).
