pronetadvertising.com — We've heard about a purported 'Bury Brigade' on Digg time and again, with sketchy pieces of evidence here and there but no concrete proof. Until now. Here's concrete proof to show you that the Bury Brigade exists and is hard at work.

What a dumbass, your telling HIM to stop complaining, YOUR complaining about someone complaining...

There's definitely something wrong when a story disappears from the front page just because it vaguely takes a view on abortion that some people on digg don't agree with.

Because there's no option for "Poorly Written", "f**king Blogspam", "Duplicate Story" or any of the other reasons I bury things. Blog spam is the biggest. If I click the link and am lead to a summary and need to find a link on that page to the original article, I bury it. Worst is when one lame blog cites another lame blog, which sites the source.Sometimes blogs do more than copy/pasting a quote from the article and actually add some insight. Sometimes they cite multiple sources showing extra coverage on the story. In these cases I don't bury. Most of the time they appear to try to pass off the work as their own and only include a tiny link to the original source right above the comments.

Yup, do you know that 77 in 2 days is all the information needed to make it to the front page? You have to know how it's supposed to work before you can cry foul.

You are both geniuses, but a real genius may try using the correct contraction here - it's you're.you are = YOU'REbelonging to you, showing possession = YOURWhy am I surrounded by f**king morons? HELP!

The key point that Kevin made is that, while I think it is an interesting insight, it may not be the whole story. The digg spy tool is rate-limited to show only some of the current activity, not 100% of it - so true conclusions would be harder to extrapolate.

Only if Bury feature worked the same way as Digg it..

This is a crock. I am listed as burying down multiple items, a few of which I dugg, and the rest I didn't even see/digg/bury/anything. I NEVER bury stories, I am just not motivated enough, but for some reason, I am on this "proof."

Why hasn't this story made the front page?

I admit it, I wrote some scripts to operate 30 digg accounts simultaneously. all it takes is about 30 coordinated buriers to shovel enough negatives on for a significant group of people to just "join in the fun" and bury every post as well. A lot of casual diggers thing the "bury brigade" is a club you can join by simply burying when you see a lot of negative diggs. And I suppose in a way this is really how it works, even though it was never my intention for the burybots to operate this way.
