Once a story has received enough user reports it is automatically removed from the digg queue or homepage (depending on where the story is living at that time). The number of reports required varies depending on how many diggs the story has. This system is going to change in the near future. Soon, reported stories will fall into a 'buried stories' bin. Users will have the ability to pick through this story bin and vote to have a story reinstated should they believe it was falsely reported."
- Tialys, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2When people click on Problem? and then select anything, it is factored in by the computer. If enough people do this, poof your story is gone. Thats the power of the Digg user.
NOT a secret moderating scheme... - _Caboose_, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2From diggtheblog.blogspot.com:

They are working on giving us the ability to see all the "lamed" stories soon per post from Kevin Rose.
- medhed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1why? That's about as useful as ***** on a male dog. Not trying to start a flame war here, just if you vote for a story, it makes thousands plus "diggs" and even not voted "lame" it's not searchable from digg?!?! wtf? WHY? If it IS how digg really works they need a disclaimer that stories might "vanish" from the site, even thou according you, they really don't.
I vote that lame...VERY LAME! - johnhr11, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2perhaps you didnt factor in that many digg users are sick of seeing every other story about stupid xbox360.
- medhed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I LOVE digg! It's totally replaced /. ...BUT
...digs DO just disappear....ALL the time!
Fix the problem IF it is a glitch, if not then Digg is just as dependable as the White House on news! :( - keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1exoendo,
pleas reread my previous post. - keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Geek, don't worry about it. people like to come down on others cuz they feel better about themselves or they get a little catharsis out of it. It's confusing when you can't search for the "problem" stuff as well. they are working on that though.
- keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1extendo may be 12 years old. it is the internet after all.
- Zuzubar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You are pretty damn creative with those name changes Keng. How do you do it?
- eceres, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0they keep saying they are working to have a "buried" queue and that this is in development. Then you can see your article in the garbage.
- keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0WHOA....Geek was a little confused but we got him straightened out. kevin said he's working on the "bury" section so all is well here.
- keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Don't get overly excited xpandible. Let's give zaphod a chance.
Zebra? - keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0read kevin's response to that in the comments here.
http://digg.com/technology/Digg_Censors_Stories_That_Offend_Sponsors - detrate, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Hey... hi... hello.
Ever notice that green box that says "problem?", that's your silent moderator right there, idiot.
No digg, I hope this gets ~silently moderated~. - keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Well, Zuzique, I give you an e for effort but lets try that again.
Hi, my name is Zuzubar; I really like your hair did you just come from the stylist?
Remember, conversation is like playing catch. You toss the "ball" to the girl and she "tosses" it back to you. Don't try to "hog" the ball or "throw" it at her. Keep practicing and you too can have girls talk to you too. And the words "restraining order" won't be among them; I guarentee. - medhed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0oh NO NO NO , if you bookmark the story BEFORE it disapears, then you CAN find it again on digg, but a simple search does not!
- DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ThisGeek
You got a 1 next to your name and ultimately that means the same whether your submission left the front page by report or by the usual queue moving. Digg is a pretty dynamic site and the front page is always changing. - exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thisgeek, quit rewriting history. You weren't asking a question, you were making an accusation. You said digg was silently moderating stories which just wasn't true. Now lets just take a deep breath and move on. Water under the bridge as far as I'm concerned.
- ThisGeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1My story had no "problems" with it, it was a story about a new shipment of XBox 360s, it was new and interesting. There was nothing wrong with it, as 1105 digg users will verify.
I'm sorry if I'm coming off as confrontational, I shouldn't have titled this story as I have. - keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0That's it xpository! Grammer, punctuation, and capitalization are just ways to say you care! Excellent job.
Now you try Zarathustra. - 5blocksfree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow...the kiddies are on in full force tonight. A simple question, a simple lack of understanding with respect to how a certain portion of digg works, and all manner of invective materializes from nowhere.
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0medhed, I guess you are an idiot too. They 'disappear' because users report the stories. it's simple as that. This site has 120000 regged users . . .
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I know how digg works, if a story is lame or old then it is reported, but I'm certain mine wasn't!"
The evidence is to the contrary... n00b. - keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0sure. let me get that definition for you.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noob
here are a couple of my favorite sites for looking up info like this; you may find them useful.
wikipedia.org
dictionary.com
google.com
you may find something on those sites about manners too. - keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0 exoendo,
that's ok. i don't mind that a noob can get stories onto digg; a good story is a good story regardless if a noob posts it or not. I encourage you to keep posting stories and to work on your inter-personal relationship skills. both will take you far in life; although life-skills probably further. - lightdarknes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1No they aren't, shut up about it already.
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1keng . . i regged in feb and was here before that. I have 16 stories under my belt and am near top hundred.
LOL! Pwned. - Zuzubar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Exoendo, you are being disrepectful to new people on this site. ThisGeek wants to get his story on, and it appears you are flaming him. It's rude behavior, and I didn't expect this from a site which has intelligent users. It's people like you, who are bashing new members because you are angry for them coming to digg. Exoendo, you need to show respect for your fellow digg members, and frankly, I'm ashamed to be sharing this site, with people who abuse other users to make themselves feel better.
For shame Exoendo,
-Zuzubar-
You have my support ThisGeek and I'm sure you have support from the majority of users at digg.com - Toon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0From reading the article, it sounds like the writer just wanted to get his 15 minutes of e-fame by getting on the front page of digg and was upset when people lamed him and saw through the transparent attempt.
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"I am not a spammer, i have submitted a single story on this matter."
http://digg.com/links/Digg.com_Is_Silently_Moderating_Legitimate_Submissions
You knew this story existed. You knew it was reported. And then you go ahead and do the same thing. Spammer. Owned.
"I am relatively new to this site, does that make me a n00b?"
yes you are a n00b. Due to your lack of regard for other digg stories. I'm 20. You? Owned.
"I checked the faq first and didnt get my answer so came here."
Digg isn't a messageboard, it's a news site - you idiot. You didn't start this story to ask a question though, did you? You started it to make an accusation. Owned.
"I cannot apologise enough for bringing this upon you."
Liar.
"being new to a forum and being called a "n00b" - keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0 exoendo,
your a noob yet i still haven't banned your comments from coming to me, so forgive me if i let you speak even though your a noob.
Geek,
I think they are keeping the formulas secret to keep the public from messing the system. - keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Geek,
I'm not going to tell you that. I'm not even saying that to extended and he's being...well...you know. - keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0zusobar,
i've got another opening in my net-manners class. wanna join extendible and me for a brush up? - keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0'why would I want to learn manners'
well, the first page of the article will answer that for you. i think it's an easy enough read for you....well there aren't 0's and 3's taking place of letters but i think you can figure it out. - keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0extent0,
i found that site for you.
http://longisland.about.com/library/weekly/aa050401a.htm - keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0xtenh0,
that's ok we can still work on your issue. lets start with a basic review of the manners-industry.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Martin - keng, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0extenho,
uhmmmmm.....well, i think you need some work on your logic there. try one of those sites i showed you earlier for more help - exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0lol. Now you admit that we succeeded. haha. Owned.
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Owned.
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Man I just owned thisgeek so bad in this thread it isn't even funny. Well actually it is. lol.
- keng, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0zues,
thank you.
see extensive, zed complimented me and i aknowledged his compliment in a polite fashion of time. now you try...say something nice about Kevin Rose. - keng, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Toon,
not really upset more than confused. he's up to speed on it now. however, extended and zuzanzabar are still working through to try and figure out how digg works.....but i think we are making real progress. - exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I proved that you are a spammer, a n00b, someone that cannot read, and a liar, seeing that you did address me much further back in the thread.
- Zuzubar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Owned
- Zuzubar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Keng, I hope you know I was being sarcastic you god damn dumbass
-Zuzubar-
Thinkgeek got pwned! - keng, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0come on now expensive, that wasn't a nice thing to say about kevin rose....now try saying something nice about Alex A.
- exoendo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"instead I was called a bitch"
That was said before as well as the other quote I post above.
Owned. - Zuzubar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0We win, you admitted defeat! We succeeded? PWNED N00B!
