@SmellogDuty @MindQuad Thanks guys! I really appreciate it. I woke up and did this as fast as I can. Usually the main editors like Wilding and Ror just make an article with barely a title and two words and a pic just to claim the "Mine Was First" title. It makes it hated for any normal users to get anything good up or even on the main

@Kr08, glad you got props for this article. When J-man swooped it, it was so similar, it was like he was rubbing your nose in it.

@Kr08 yea, Wilding is a known d-bag on here, he does sneaky shit like that on a daily basis, i tend to avoid his articles for that very reason, but when he boots everyone off the mainpage cause of his shitty antics, not much can be done.

@NateBest Hey Nathan. I could honestly use some answers right now. I posted this article earlier this morning and managed to get it to be my first article on the Main Page. I updated it just recently to include some news and then all of a sudden Josh Wilding removed it from the Main Page and News Page. Explain to me how that is right.

@Kr08

There is two things Editors can fall back on when removing someone's article...... one is time stamp and the other is if they feel as though that persons article is not professional enough for the site.
Kr08
Kr08 - 9/3/2015, 6:36 PM
@NateBest I was incredibly happy that my article was my first article able to make it on the Main Page. Now because he didn't like the comments on it that were all TRUE about him, he takes it off.
Kr08
Kr08 - 9/3/2015, 6:37 PM
@JoeMomma29 I beat him to it when it comes to time stamp and mine is better than half the stuff he throws on here and calls articles. So, it is obvious he did it just because the comments were telling the truth about him

Well Josh needs all the articles and clicks he can get so he can get paid, basically the editors are like dime dancers.

LOL!

Well thank you sir!

@NateBest and just in case you were wondering what happened when I asked Josh Wilding why he did it, here's his reply. He does the same thing all the time with his articles.


A lot of the comments on my article were about when the retail release date was and the price.

@JoshWilding Yet you find the time to do it to every single one of your articles whenever you have an update.

for some reason we he has an opinion his a clickbait article troll...

Kr08 - 9/3/2015, 7:06 PM
@JoshWilding You know what's funny Josh? None of this would've happened had you messaged me WITHOUT INSULTS warning me that I shouldn't update the time stamp and then fixing the article time stamp. I would've been fine with it, yet you feel the need to act like douchebag because you have some power on a website?
AsgardianHobo

@JoshWilding

I'm not on a specific side at all, but there are articles where you claim you create just for the flame wars, or just direct to that narrative. I'm not saying that this decision was specifically wrong or right (because who cares about my opinion), but you do have some trolling click-articles under your belt buddy.

And no, I didn't go "LOL, clickbait article$$$"

Kr08 - 9/3/2015, 7:16 PM
@JoshWilding Trollish caps? Okay, if I was wrong in thinking you were the one in doing it, THAT WAS ALL YOU HAD TO SAY. Yet, you went on to insult me like you do every time someone you don't like writes something to you. How would I know your email? Why would I email you if there is a comments section.

Just like you said all you had to do was message me on here. You were the one who was abusive. If I was wrong, tell me. Don't insult me because it helps your ego. Hypocrisy at it's best when you say I should email you but you could've done the same.
