- Chickenlip, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16You're missing the point Frye ... This isn't to spread the number, it's to protest the digg censorship ...
- noisymime, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wait for it to get to 1000, I believe that's the current delete point.
- xXShadowstormXx, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Censorship sucks.

- gcnaddict, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I'm sorry, but any site that has "User-posted content, unless source quoted, is licensed under a Creative Commons Public Domain License. " at the bottom of its page while CENSORING people's posts is a site doomed to fail. If Kevin wants to be such a tool about it, I'll convey it to his TechTV friends at WinHEC in two weeks on camera.
- alrahman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3@Winters, I would digg you up twice if I could. Nice list :)
- Lonforce, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3That's why I have been posting this in other Stories:
If you feel like I do, stop spaming good stuff and just digg this:

I think this is the best way of showing our disappointment WITHOUT annoying everybody...If you feel the same , I would appreciate if you posted something similar in your comments instead of just writing numbers... because it's NOT ABOUT THE NUMBERS! - rospahr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1 Send an eCard of that famous Hex Number. (3rd eCard on the page)

- ForteeCaliber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ROTFLMAO
1000 is the point where a Mod diggs it... THEN delete's it. - canewediggit, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4fyre- i'm with you. the only cowards here are the idiots that don't realize digg can suffer legal ramifications from these acts. it's you ***** that can't get over this issue, even though you already know the number, that are turning your back on the community. you're ruining the upcoming section and acting like the immature 14 yr old undersexed boys you are.
now excuse me, i have to go undigg this story as i misunderstood who was being called a coward. - ForteeCaliber, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0The Community betrayed us.
- ShadedNine, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3Exactly. Those who need the number already have it. I'd rather see Digg dominated by nothing but protest stories until we break through than let censorship win. If it really is a matter between Digg taking on a lawsuit it can't win or censoring a damned number, then I guess Digg's fate is sealed, but I would have it be "such and end".
- ForteeCaliber, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Nice
- swrostmore, on 10/12/2007, -8/+4Does blocking every one of you ***** that spams that number string count as digg censorship? If so, then count me in!
- delta013, on 10/12/2007, -10/+6I'm sorry but it doesn't seem right to me that you are asking, no, demanding that Digg brake the law for you. Yes, I know it's a stupid law. If you want to get mad about it go write your overpaid congressperson. All you're doing right now is giving some poor Digg interns carpal tunnel syndrome. Digg is a business and they have a right to protect themselves if they want to.

That you'd rather see people spamming the Upcoming stories with the same information that has been screamed at the top of people's lungs than to just let it go and move on.
It's behavior like this that not only lessens the Digg experience overall, but works against your whole point. You're not creating unity, you're creating a divide between people who think they're making a statement and those who are fed up with your antics and are now burying your stories and blocking users who spam the numbers in comments.
No one ever promised you that you could say and do whatever you want. - mnetlucas, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2Fail!
- FyreGoddess, on 10/12/2007, -12/+5I'm not sure what, exactly, you mean. Do you mean those who are removing the spammy, duplicate stories or those members of the "community" that are spamming the upcoming stories section and unrelated stories with a number that we've all ALREADY SEEN 8 MILLION ***** TIMES?
