A Rant About 'Replaced Articles'

I don't often write articles, so when I do, it's something important. I stand up on my sandbox, and say what I feel needs to be said. But before I do that, there are three things I want to establish:
 

1. This article is not clickbait-it is the presentation of an opinion about a current situation.
2. This article is intended neither to hate on or kiss up to either the 'accused' Power Users or the general populace of the site.
3. This article is not intended to start a flame war, but due to its controversiality I acknowledge it's a high possibility.

So there appears to be an ever-frequent occurrence...occurring recently. Regular users are posting articles (that I never happen to catch) that are subsequently taken down, and then soon after an article about the exact same news, but written by a Power User, is up and running. Then, the original posters appear to have a hissy fit in the comment section and start attacking, accusing and getting in a huff-puff because "My article got taken down and that guy made the exact same one but better and it doesn't have my name on it WAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

No, seriously.

The common argument made by these 'oppressed' users is that the Power Users don't like seeing others getting scoops before them and as such scrutinise their posts, looking for a reason to take them down. This will often come down to poor spelling/grammar/punctuation, plagiarism from the original source site and/or very little effort overall being put into the article. Now I would be able to corroborate this further if I had actually seen one of these taken down articles, but unfortunately I haven't.

Now the supposed 'agenda' of the Power Users in question aside, let's be honest-there would need to be some legitimacy to their taking down of your article for it to be taken down. Whether they will do anything to get the scoop or not, they can write the better articles. Full stop. They've been on the site long enough to ascend to their current rank, obviously demonstrating writing expertise in doing so, and the editor/owner/whoever-in-charge obviously wants articles that look nice, neat, and professional on their site-as a real estate agent you'd rather take a prospective buyer to a 2-storey luxury home as opposed to a former crack den.

So you want to write news, and your articles get taken down. How do you fix that? By fighting 'THE MAN'? Nope. Go to one of the article-writing tutorials on the site and LEARN how to do it properly, or just use common sense. Don't rush, use paragraphs and proper sentences, have extra 'meat' around the 'bones'-further explanation/discussion in addition to "Okay so-and-so said this, here's a picture or video clip, ta da". And above all, never try to write an article on your phone. Just don't even try.

So you know how to write articles now, but you're still PO'd that your article about (example) Whirlwind appearing in 'Ant-Man' got taken down last week before your 'lesson'. You're positively fuming because you are just so angry about everything in your life and it all happens to converge at this one point. So what do you do? Instead of taking your frustration out on a punching bag or a football field like a regular person, you go and troll the article of the Power User you now despise. "I'm gonna spread a negative aura in his comment section so hopefully it affects his article and I get revenge. Cause I'm so mature like that." Yes, sure, further provoking the people who've already noticed you can't write is a wonderful idea.

Not.

In short, use common sense when writing and your article won't get taken down. I'm 98% sure the Power Users have legitimate reasons, so just deal with it and do better next time.
