The bounty served its purpose it got the author an answer, who I might add, didn't aware your answser the bounty. The author had lots of time to award the bounty, they choose not to award the bounty, to any answer. Bounty started on the 19th and your answer was only deleted 2 days ago, so the user had 5 days, to award the bounty BEFORE the answer was deleted. | |

| Nov 27, 2016 at 17:33 | comment | added | harrymc | (1) You have not answered the question of whether deleting my answer in this context was too violent and whether the poster should be reimbursed. (2) It wasn't exactly a non-answer as it linked to the AutoHotkey home page where lots of information and examples are available. (3) I admit that the need to flag wasn't clear to me as this was my first such case, but in any case not much time was left before bounty expiration. (4) Could you undelete my answer which did cost me some time to write. | |
