Noting that new site member 
SpookyScience (previously SpookyScience8841, account age 5 days, site membership 3 days) recently coldposted a page which was downvoted. They then proceeded to post multiple inflammatory comments:

I'd make a comment regarding bad faith votes, but after only a few minutes reviewing the voting patterns of new submissions things make a little more sense. Of course the most obvious instances of misconduct and bias also coincided with a particular staff member and their writing group - who could have ever guessed? Well, thus is the nature of online communities with substandard staff integrity enforcement. Best regards to you all.
A staff member and their writing group have a bad habit of sandbagging any writing that didn't come through their process, and with 10 votes as the threshold, it becomes very easy to turn "quality control" into one insular group's bias pushed as the standard for creative writing. No worries though, they were here first, and that's life in internet communities like this.
They also replied to the deletion vote timer: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/forum/t-16948806/scp-8841#post-6667602
Oh don't worry, I intend to delete this myself long before the countdown ends - I just wanted to give the conversations below an opportunity to resolve. It would be rude for me to assume the last word. So you can consider an additional vote for deletion by default.
And replied to a closed staff post:
That's alright, I read that part too. But you can rest easy - I don't intend to extend my stay with this group beyond the life of this post. The conversations here have shown that I was unfortunately mistaken as to the nature of this community, and I don't want to intrude any further on this space which the staff and other members have spent so much of their time in. I'd rather leave them to their comfortable space and make my way elsewhere.
But for any other staff that sees this - do be sure to go pick up a copy of Sam's (qntm's) self-published version of There Is No Antimemetics Division V1 before they are removed from sale forever! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0915M7T61
And be sure to congratulate him on his exciting book deals! Always good to acknowledge when someone from the group does well. https://qntm.org/publ
In response to a reader who attempted to provide feedback and explain the site's writing process:
I can understand how an insular echo chamber can distort someone's perception, and I can't fault you for that - everyone is entitled to find a space they enjoy. But as a gentle reminder, the personal tastes which are conflated in this community with standards of writing are both novel to and valid only in this community. So while your defensive reaction to critique of your community's practices is perfectly natural, it may be worthwhile to curb the inflammatory language and insults. Alternatively, if you intend for the community to reject any and all new users and different perspectives, it may be helpful to articulate that up front.
