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

@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.
