I'd almost guarantee that, if you posted the same thing (title + content), it was flagged like crazy (and that's why it was gone so quickly). I remember reading that the flag system weights flags heavier that are received within x minutes of the article being posted. In other words, if an article gets two flags in 20 minutes that may be fine. But if another article gets two flags in the first minute, it will be killed (or something to that effect).

This title and this post - it's just full of overly dramatic language choices. Make your case like a normal person and see how the community reacts to that.
