techcrunch.com — Users will submit their URLs to the system and everyone participating will receive a list of stories to Digg. 80% of those stories will be randomly selected from Digg, the other 20% will be the stories submitted for gaming by Spike the Vote users. This is intended as a way to ensure anonymity for participants.

I had a solution which was to hide the submitter of an article until it hits the front page. It allows their fans to still have the community feel, still see the articles they post, but makes sure those articles are being promoted on their content and not who submitted it.

Sure you can create a new account. But then what's the point of the "game". Isn't that what this is all about? You want YOUR stories on the front page so you can build your rank. Not mynewaccount003. Now, If the whole purpose is to get a website thousands of hits then a starting a new account each time is worth it. Here’s to hoping that digg doesn’t sink to becoming pure spam.

Because keeping the knowledge that digg is flawed from the public must come first! Doesnt matter that they wont know the content on digg is bulls**t.

RadiantBeing, just because they are good at finding, summarizing and posting stories does NOT mean that they aren't in a controlling position.They are. Its just that its not an organized attempt at doing so.

well, this is a techcrunch story, so most diggers will read it anyway (or try to submit it like I did and get here).

Hopefully this will get to the front page and bring spikethevote.com down!!

You may suggest it, but nobody will listen. Our news is old enough as it is.
