I noticed that a few of my comments disappeared recently. As far as I can remember, those were corrections to inaccuracies in other comments. Now I can't find my comments, and the original comments by the other people. Is this something that happens here on chemistry.SE?

@Gimelist I do want a series of comments gone, whether or not they're mine, if they're being a bit noisy. One important thing to note is comments on a question always appear above answers, no matter how well the answers are.
@M.A.R. well I'm not a mod there, just the top or 2nd top rep user. I don't set the rules or enforce them
ok here https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/q/119289/8083 I definitely remember someone saying in a comment somewhere that this is the formula of dolomite, and I commented that no it's not dolomite, but rather Mg-rich calcite.
@Gimelist Maybe if you ask the mods, they'll tell you quite a number of comments get deleted that no one really cares about. A good moderation (done by moderators) is one that goes unnoticed anyway.
Dolomite is CaMg(CO3)2. What you write, (Ca,Mg)CO3 is Mg-rich calcite that is a different mineral to dolomite and has different crystal structure and properties. — GimelistAug 18 at 5:22
Which requires more ionization energy: $\ce{Ne}$ or $\ce{Ne+}?$
It seems to me like it should be neon because of noble gas configuration, but the answer given is $\ce{Ne+}.$ Does this anything to do with size of the atom shrinking?
Is this because cationic counterparts always have more ioni...
