Digg Has Super Users Or Hates Ron Paul
techcrunch.com — here’s the possibly bad thing: either Digg has super users who can single handedly bury stories on Digg, or they ’re censoring Ron Paul posts. Ironically, if this makes it to the front page it would become a paradox.

- dmjarrington, on 02/24/2008, -11/+12Digg has been compromised.

- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 02/26/2008, -2/+9The burden of proof is on you.
I can't say I have a sealed box with an important piece of evidence, and then tell you "Prove that I don't!"

- lostangelonline, on 02/25/2008, -6/+5i have personally checked the possibility that digg is censuring RP, starting months ago, and came to the obvious conclusion that it does! it did back then and it still does it now; many rEVOLolutionaries left digg because of the censuring and went to ronpaulforums.com or other sites not censored... me and others have submitted more stories related to this, urging digg to stop censoring, but all stories got burried with just one 'super' bury... even alex jones has posted an article exposing what digg was doing
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 02/26/2008, -2/+9Ever get the hint that people are SICK AND TIRED OF RON PAUL SPAM? Well, it's true.
- trumpydumpy, on 02/27/2008, -1/+2Why is it that there are NO complaints from the bury brigade about Obama or Clinton spam, only Ron Paul? ***** shills.

Come back with some actual evidence as opposed to the buzzwords and nonsense you've brought forth so far. Are you really that much of a child that you need to whine and moan when your submissions don't hit the front page and then call it a conspiracy? Are you that immature? - trumpydumpy, on 02/27/2008, -2/+1Why is it that there are NO complaints from the bury brigade about Obama or Clinton spam, only Ron Paul? ***** shills.
- bingobongony, on 02/25/2008, -7/+15you embarrass yourself.
- bingobongony, on 02/25/2008, -16/+15You truly don't understnad, don't you? You CAN'T cheat the algorithm! If you violate the TOS by creating mutliple accounts (which has been THOROUGHLY and REPEATEDLY proven), you will not make it to the front page. You are basically BURYING YOURSELVES. When you digg a story with more than one account, you are effectively BURYING it. You are also getting EVERY single one of your accounts flagged. Then, that account is not only useless, but it is detrimental to any story. A digg from a flagged account counts AGAINST the story making it to the front page. At this point, you are screwed. Too many people have created multiple accounts and used it too many times. those accounts should never be used. But you are too stupid to realize this, and whine like the little worhtless bitches that you are about some big conspiracy, all the while refusing to see the obvious REAL reason why you are not getting to the front page.
Annnnd...now you know.
Oh, and another thing...when a specific URL has been the subject of obvious multiple acocunt SPAM tactics, that URL gets banned. So there are many websites that will never make it to the front page because they have already been proven to be trying to cheat the algorithm which is a violation of the TOS of this site.- nalicosh, on 02/25/2008, -11/+8...or, bingobogony and the rest of the bury brigade are simply burying every Ron Paul article that they see, regardless of content, validity or relevance, out of pure malicious intent, effectively censoring Ron Paul from the front page of digg. They apparently then take this hatred further and flag the submitters of said articles just to add insult to injury. Perhaps we should return the favor.
- bingobongony, on 02/25/2008, -7/+14I haven't buried one single article. No need to. You do it yourself.
Cheaters never win.
- bingobongony, on 02/25/2008, -7/+14I haven't buried one single article. No need to. You do it yourself.
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 02/26/2008, -2/+11Unfortunately crap like prisonplanet hasn't been banned yet. That's nothing but spam coming out of that ***** hole of a website.

- chicofaraby, on 02/25/2008, -10/+8Or the third possibility is that right wingers like Paul are extremely unpopular after their decade of total failure to govern effectively. The right had their chance. They blew it.
- InSectWar, on 02/25/2008, -5/+10Ok.. fair enough.. if this is the case.. why not just leave Digg? No one is forcing you to stay here and there are plenty of other options. Show them your discontent for what you feel is true and go give your business to someone else. Doesn't that make more sense?
- CaptainNoPants, on 02/26/2008, -2/+10Exactly. If you don't like the fact that a large # of users on digg do not appreciate all the spam associated with Ron Paul, then go.
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 02/26/2008, -2/+9I think Rickroll videos are more popular than Ron Paul
- Hortnon, on 02/26/2008, -2/+8That's a fact.
- trumpydumpy, on 02/27/2008, -3/+2Yeah, can you explain why none of the bury brigade is complaining about all the obama or clinton spam? ***** you shills, I hope you all burn in hell.
- CaptainNoPants, on 02/28/2008, -2/+2Lol, you're hilarious.
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 02/26/2008, -2/+9I think Rickroll videos are more popular than Ron Paul

- COINTELPROAgent, on 02/25/2008, -7/+12This again. It was lame when mrbabyman submitted it. Yes, there are super users who can bury an article with a single digg. You can't stop us. *yawn*
- trumpydumpy, on 02/26/2008, -7/+0Hey everyone, I want you all to take a look at COINTELPROAgent's submissions to digg. Who would spend so much time trying to smear Ron Paul when there is little chance of him winning? Why does he spend so much of his time on the internet trying to convince us Ron Paul is a bad guy? And his name is real convincing at throwing us all off....
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 02/26/2008, -1/+8Ever stop and listen to yourself? You're a nutter.
- trumpydumpy, on 02/27/2008, -1/+0I'm a nutter? Because I found out that there is someone on digg posting multiple smear articles about ron paul on a near daily basis? Who's the nutter again? I am fed up with this groupthink mentality on digg, somehow the people that just blindly follow and accept what they are told get tons of diggs while people like me who question whats really going on and expose things get buried. I am fed up with people in this country hating on those who try and expose corruption, merely passing them off as "nutters" or "troofers" or whatever other stupid name you can come up with. Why don't you do something to help this country instead of whining about the people that are trying to make a difference? Maybe if you actually cared about your country and you cared about who was leading it, you would see that things are REALLY ***** UP. Like this war, and our economy, and the minds of most people like you who don't take a millisecond to question whats really going on. I can't wait for them to start rounding you fools up into FEMA camps, because I will be long gone before then. Have fun in the NWO, asshat.

- trumpydumpy, on 02/26/2008, -6/+0Can someone please explain to me how my post about the Council on Foreign Relations http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/How_the_Council_ ... was on top of the upcoming videos for the 2008 election, was 4th place in overall upcoming videos, yet has now disappeared from the lists altogether? I am done with digg, we are being completely censored here. Time to move over to reddit.
- CaptainNoPants, on 02/26/2008, -0/+11You've spammed this comment in other topics. Why are you still here? If it's such a terrible place, then go. Go to reddit. Your post was 4th place in upcoming, then disappeared? You know what that means? Probably not. It means that several users initially found and dugg your article, propelling it to 4th place. Then, several other users found your article and buried it, negating the people that dugg it initially. But it's easier to bitch and moan than think, right?
- trumpydumpy, on 02/27/2008, -2/+0I "spammed" it to another article which had to do with the CFR, and this article which has everything to do with what I'm talking about. The mere fact that you get 9 diggs for attacking me, when I am simply trying to defend our country, makes me sick. You are the type of person that hates anyone that questions the government, aren't you? Go back to O'Reilly, you sheep.
- CaptainNoPants, on 02/28/2008, -0/+3O'Reilly? Do you really have any idea what you're writing? Seriously, do you? You obviously don't know anything about me and consider anyone that doesn't believe your ***** to be a government shill or something along those lines. Your talking points are tired and weak. I'm a sheep? Clever! Also, I didn't get 9 diggs for attacking you, I got them for confronting you about your spamming. Go back to hating America, it's obviously a full time job for you.
- trumpydumpy, on 03/01/2008, -0/+0I don't hate America, I hate stupid Americans that don't question anything. Just do me a favor and look into the CFR. And start questioning everything (not just posts on digg.) I don't want to waste my time fighting with you because it's pointless, we really need to work together as Americans to take down this evil empire, and you seem to be more worried about fighting people on digg than a corrupt government.

Get over yourselves. A recent Rasmussen poll showed more than 50% of people would vote for anyone running against Paul rather than vote for him. - onetimer, on 02/26/2008, -3/+7Some people still think paul is relevant? Adorable.
I'm gonna have to whip out my *super* bury for this one...
