Someone at digg better explain pretty quick. I'm pretty sure all of us that use digg are quite capable of finding out one way or another through different blogs.
you dink... it's not about illegal content, it's about content potentially damaging to digg's image. but more importantly it's about digg's self-proclaimed mission to be about user moderation of content, not site owner moderation of content. hey, wait a second... is this kevinrose?
It'd only take a few hours, registering a few accounts, posting an article, and then using a free proxy to log in with each user and digg it, so I'd say "free".Not that I condone astroturfing.. I'm actually against it.
HarryBauzonia - thanks for replying - I do remember that story, but I only glanced and it and never saw any of these comments. Again, it confirms exactly what I was saying earlier, that many of the digg folks are promoting a liberal agenda and some apparently have no problem with making conservatives and Christians feel very unwelcome here.I want to make it clear that as a libertarian I would defend digg's freedom of censorship since they are a private website. What bothers me the most is that they make a big deal out of the site being user-drive when obviously it is not and there are some people with clear anti-Christian/anti-Conservative agenda working here. It's a very sad thing.I would never expect to see a single story with a conservative spin here..that's not the nature of the website...so the continuous barage of liberal crap showing up on the main page is really getting very old.
Guys Guys Guys anc few Girls, the fact is KEVIN ROSE Rose Rocks (I agree he needs a better haircut, but he does ROCK!) There are and can be some issues, flaws, etc But lets not forget all of us I repeat ALL OF US have go so many OPPORTUNITIES to ?LIETRALLY SHOW OFF? to our friends colleagues abt some NEWS which we know much before them across industry!Secondly DIGG is more or less a group of Early adapters across borders and over all a nice fun free place to get updated, so lets tell Kevin what?s wrong and how it can be solved but not ATTACK on HIM!It takes hundreds of days/months/years to create something and few seconds to destroy so lets all of us be in the Creators for Gods sake :)!
Maybe I just submit crappy stories, but they always seem to get buried before they get very far, is there a way to tell why, as then maybe I could better evaluate my submissions. As it stands, I have no f**king idea... or am I missing something??A little exasperated.
I've seen a number of good stories that go against "digg" or it's affiliates (they have affiliates? well they defend certain things from the truth gettng out on them) somehow disappear...Granted there are editors...that remove stories....and that's retarded. And retarded stories get promoted. Something is wrong....but whatever.
After seeing this dropbox article get so many diggs, and some repeated url postings that lead readers to the download page, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that digg is just another way to exploit the uninformed public and simply cash in on their stupidity. Congratulations on screwing the people who made this site popular! I trust nothing from digg at this point and this will be my last post on this f u cking corupted site.

If Kevin kicks Alex off of Diggnation and gets a less annoying co-host we'll call it even.
