@orthocresol are we not supposed to respect the citation guidelines that research article publishers give us? That is to say, I know we are following ACS style citations on our site, but can the publisher (say Elsevier/RSC/etc.) force us to use a different citation format for their research paper?

Why's this tagged spectroscopy - chemistry.stackexchange.com/q/19857 ?

any mod, help, I downvoted five answers sequentially on this page - chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/374/… - because they were all wrong. But now I'm afraid that the voting fraud script is gonna punish me :(

@GaurangTandon no...

the ACS style guide doesn't tell you how to cite ACS papers when you write on some random internet site...

it tells you how to cite stuff if you're intending to publish your work under ACS

@GaurangTandon also no... voting fraud is against a specific person or persons

not against a post

By the way, it might be wise to not make jokes when flagging stuff, after all I am not the only moderator here.

@orthocresol hehe yeah, just once :P

@orthocresol okidoki

@orthocresol okay

@orthocresol eh, why was my flag on the comment on this question declined? chemistry.stackexchange.com/q/19100/5026

I had added in what that comment said into the post itself

extra clarification doesn't hurt and I didn't think the post made it super clear

Now, if we want to be pedantic, it is still a chemical, it just does not have the formula D3O

@orthocresol it didn't make it clear originally, but it does after I have edited it :/

Whatever, not really a biggie

If you feel like the comment should be there, just let it be
