I suspect a couple of issues: 1 - There are karma/score based systems in both sites that highly reward "first to post" interesting articles. 2 - There is no penalty here for bad initial posts, so there is no real penalty for not "posting news related to hackers." 3 - Both have a karma/score based system for rewarding interesting comments. You will find similar situations on the stackoverflow sorts of sites, although one of the rewarding moves available at stackoverflow is unavailable here - which is to make a fast quick post and continue to edit it and add more details from other answers. Any system with a score or badge as a sort of "reward" will get gamed. I'm sorry if you are offended by it, but that is the way things are.
