10e20.com — There are many reasons the Digg Community may perceive you negatively, or worse yet, consider you a filthy social media spammer. If you take part in the majority of these activities you probably aren’t seen as a positive social media maven as you may have previously hoped.

47. You use a thumbnail from the page that has nothing to do with the story, just b/c it looks cool

I've dugg articles and submitted some of my own, even when I knew would be attacked by bury brigades. Doesn't necessarily mean they're spam.

@relicI wasn't arguing that the shout system has helped. I was arguing against Bukowsky's last statement.Secondly, shouts would work perfectly if people used them to shout stuff they thought was interesting that probably would not make the front page otherwise, rather than only the stuff they submitted. Think about if every single digger did that. Yeah, maybe the excess shouts might seem annoying, but it only takes a few seconds to see if you like a story or not. So just move on to your next shout if you don't like the shout you're looking at. And if someone shouts a lot of stories you don't particularly like, just delete from your friends list. When I try to make friends, I purposely look for people who share similar interests as me or have dugg a lot in the same topics as me.It's kind of pathetic that Digg had to make the recommendation engine in the first place. It wouldn't be needed if everyone shouted the stories they really liked instead of only their own, or their "friends'" stuff.
