New site member DR Volusol (account age 3 days, site membership 20 hours) recently coldposted an article. Upon it receiving downvotes, they started getting frustrated in the comments:

geez. Give me a chance to rewrite this SCP. NO-one has given this SCP a chance at all. There is barely any constructive criticism either.

It's not my fault that 18 people decided to downvote my SCP. What the hell is wrong with it?

I didn't bother with the IRC chat rooms or the forums because I felt that my SCP was well thought out and was similar to a series-1 style SCP. I didn't just write this SCP on a whim, i had this SCP floating around in my head for about a week or two prior. I came up with several iterations of it and i chose the one that felt most like an actual SCP.
Furthermore my SCP actually goes into more depth than a lot of highly rated SCPs. My SCP has reasonable containment procedures, its nice and descriptive, and i even threw in an addendum.
The whole time i was regularly checking successful SCP pages so I could see what they did and how they went about writing their SCPs. And yet for no apparent reason, this SCP did poorly. If i wasn't the author of this SCP i probably wouldn't be able to tell this Series-6 SCP from a Series-1 SCP.
After some critique back-and-forth: http://www.scp-wiki.net/forum/t-13209403/scp-5280#post-4582111
Can you do me a favor?
Delete the entire SCP-5280 article. I give up at this point. I initially wanted to write an SCP in the Series-1 style but it seems people dont care about descriptions of anomalous objects, they want short-stories and 69-page booklets about the adventure of a d-class stuck in an alternate dimension.
Also noting that they had a long conversation asking why Series I SCPs did well and had over 6000 upvotes, if they weren't good.
Keep an eye on.
