I have been waiting for answer from 3-4 hour and no replied had came.

@admin pls take action against it.

Please help.

Wait for at least one day.
If your comment isn’t answered in a day. It means that this I can be inferred from the question. So reread it again and again until you doubt gets cleared.

I disagree with “If your comment isn’t answered in a day. It means that this I can be inferred from the question.” Sometimes the author might miss the comment or be busy for a day and not have seen any comments.

Exactly… What I believe is author should answer something… It means “if his comment can be inferred from question” then why not tell him to do so in reply… Why just ignoring… I wish CodeChef should have a feature of blue tick mark for seen comments

why not tell him to do so in reply lmao. @l_returns you were in the panel. So who knows better than you the no of comments on Easy problem?
If the author begins to reply each and every comment this would be the only work he would be able to do

@aryanc403 - I agree with it being a bit hectic, but its the ideal way. I, despite being editorialist, made sure to answer (or get answered) every single comment in the easy problems. Of course, a copy of common responses was kept for these cases xD

@aryanc403 How can someone know if his comment was not answered because it can be inferred from question ?
As said by @abdullah768, there can be various reasons for not replying.
