<p>I have a question about my Cross Validated post: <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/410010/statistics-what-kind-of-test-to-use-to-test-this-hypothesis">Statistics: what kind of test to use to test this hypothesis?</a></p>

<p>
A member commented on my question in detail, and that comment did answer my question.</p>

<p>I proposed he submit it as an answer so that I can mark it as such and close the topic while giving credit to him.</p>

<p>He said he didn't want to, so I submitted an answer where I said that the answer to my question is in that person's comment.</p>

<p>As I can't mark my own answer as the answer until 1 day passes, I went away to do other things only to come back to see that answer deleted by a mod saying "This does not provide an answer to the question. To critique or request clarification from an author, leave a comment below their post." But I AM the author...</p>

<p>What do I do? Submit the same answer again? Flag the mod's comment which I feel would do nothing? Leave the question forever in the open state?</p>
