I wrote a comment for a question, which was supposed to help the OP. The comment has been voted 3 or more times, and then deleted.
Why? How can I find that out?

If it was flagged it should have one of the following reasons:

  • rude or offensive
  • not constructive/off-topic
  • obsolete
  • too chatty
  • other

I really can't say without seeing the question, and even then it's hard to tell. Sometimes good comments get removed with lots of bad comments when a moderator does a comment purge to clean up a smelly argument. Sometimes it's just user flags. Sometimes we just hit the wrong button. Don't put too much weight on your comments, they really are just temporary things in most cases. – Tim Post Aug 12 '11 at 9:09
    
It was not intention being rude. But I want to know if somebody is thinking I was rude. stackoverflow.com/questions/7037324 – oliholz Aug 12 '11 at 9:30

Your comment was consistent with 'accept rate bullying', which the community frowns upon. I deleted it due to the flags it was collecting. I'm not implying you were bullying anyone, it's just the term used to describe 'prodding' people to accept previous answers. – Tim Post Aug 12 '11 at 9:59
    
Okay, now I understand, thanks a lot. – oliholz Aug 12 '11 at 10:05

@TimPost: Eh, it was borderline. Oli wasn't being rude, and the OP has ten questions already. – Won't Aug 12 '11 at 13:16

There is no way to find that out. If you report to which comment you are referring, or to which question you added a comment, a moderator could report the reason it has been deleted.

how can I "find" a moderator so I can ask him/her ? – alfasin Feb 17 '12 at 3:09
    
If you ask on the chat for the site where that happened, probably a moderator would tell you. – kiamlaluno Feb 17 '12 at 12:42
