- crackedplastic, on 10/11/2007, -11/+35711. Thou shalt put lists on ONE PAGE.
- toxicgonzo, on 10/11/2007, -16/+234A different top 10 commandments list:
1. Thou shalt not reply to the first comment with an off topic post just to receive a higher moderation (except for mirrors)
2. Thou shalt not submit stories through your own blog because nobody cares about your blog
3. Thou shalt not make a comment with a "/sarcasm" tag. If you need to write it then your post is not sarcastic enough
4. Thou shalt not turn neutral stories into religious/political debates
5. Thou shalt not steal comments from the article's forum and claim it as your own because you would be no better than Mencia
6. Thou shalt not claim a girlfriend because liars get buried
7. Thou shalt bury idiots and report the worst offenders to a Hall of Shame such as bash.org
8. Thou shalt not grammar nazi another's comments unless it be deemed a hilarious error
9. Thou shalt digg any relevant LOLCATS comments without thinking twice about it
10. Thou shalt bury "Will it blend?" comments and pictures of mirrors because they are a tired and overused fad
11. Thou shalt not create sensationalist titles, use caps, or the phrases "amazing", "ever", "hilarity ensues", "title says it all", "___ you'll see all day", and especially not "!!!"
12. Thou shalt deem trolls to be those who oppose what is good i.e. Apple, Nintendo, and Linux and those who applaud what is evil i.e. Microsoft, Sony, RIAA/MPAA, and Scientology
13. Thou shalt learn the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" or go back to 2nd grade - MrSketch, on 10/11/2007, -3/+79Thou shalt make top 10 lists with only 10 items on it.
- sockpuppets, on 10/11/2007, -15/+73I use Digg as it suits me. If it violates some "rule", well, who cares.
- macaddct1984, on 10/11/2007, -5/+38Yeah, it was really necessary to put *two* items on a second page...
- toxicgonzo, on 10/11/2007, -6/+22oh wow, I know how to count
- Th3_anOmoLy, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14Different, easier to read and far more accurate.
- skyfire1, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12"1." has become increasingly irrelevant with the new GUI.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7I don't need to read the article when a typical digg post looks like this:
"Breaking news: Chris Benoit and his family found dead
Wrestler Chris Benoit was found dead at his house on Saturday morning. Police are investigating whether it was a double murder suicide. "
What more can the main article say? Probably go into Benoit's life but that's irrelevant. - gojeda, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7The words "digg" and "integrity", in the same story, is an oxymoron.
BURIED as SPAM - Veretax, on 10/11/2007, -4/+7Since when are people on Digg called Diggers? Makes it sound like we go around picking our collective noses.
- mal1964, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5dude are you me, I have never agreed more with any comment in two years!
- knowltonj, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5thou shalt use The Daily Show as a primary news source.
- Imagin8, on 10/11/2007, -2/+599. Do not submit stories from sites that force digg users to sign up..
(and always dig down these stories) - laterallateral, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4how about thou shall keep dry bagel, smart ass comments to self?
- Latka, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3I disagree with both of you. I have dug you down.
I'm sure I will too. I don't care! - ScottooMc, on 10/11/2007, -3/+5AHAHAHAHAH..... This is great I was just about to post something similiar but you knocked this one out of the park. Good thing I read your comment! There should be 11 though: Thou shalt be Athiest and proclaim that Religion is for the mindless.
- OswaldKenobi, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Those are the only three commandments that apply to digg. However, you shouldn't forget to add non-atheist views to the commandments as well.
- cloudyprison, on 10/11/2007, -2/+4Get in the van, over9. It says 'Free Candy' on the side. It must be legit.
- jjustice, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Whoa, bury brigade. What's up with that?
- rejoined, on 10/11/2007, -3/+414. Thou shalt learn the difference between "your" and "you're".
- The_Dude, on 10/11/2007, -3/+4make sure to thrown in the word "strawman" in all your arguments about arguments.
- vroom101, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That would be "Pickers", i.e., wannabe Diggers. "Diggers" are the true explorers, the real deal.
- jdibiase, on 10/11/2007, -3/+415. Thou shalt learn the difference between "lose" and "loose" or go back to 1st grade.
- PleaseJustDie, on 10/11/2007, -4/+5***** children. They shouldn't be on the interweb anyway, the only thing on it is digg and porn.
- LiberalsSuckAss, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3Why? Because my opinion differs from yours?
Why does a conflicting viewpoint automatically get you buried? Can we not intelligently discuss and debate issues? I'm beginning to think this whole digg up digg down system is just childish. - DarkTranquility, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1The record hands down is the jessica alba story
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3Very true. Thou shalt not express any kind of religious faith beyond generic, nebulous spiritualism, lest they comments be dugg down into oblivion.
- MikeTheC, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0*picks nose*
Hmm? What did you say? - MikeTheC, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0So that's why there's even a discussion of this? The article gets posted, it gets added to digg.com, I comment about it and bury it (for what I believe are good and legitimate reasons) and you're then going to criticise me for exercising my option to comment and bury it?
- smacksaw, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I don't need to click a link to Digg it or not since these are often articles already on FARK, Reddit, Delicious, etc.
- homagenz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Sweet God, nobody's making you do anything. You're the boss of you. Okay?
- homagenz, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Dear Mr. Liberals Suck Ass, you're absolutely right. Other people are being childish. Mr. Liberals Suck Ass, won't you show us how to act like adults? Adults like you, Mr. Liberals Suck Ass?
- jamesallen74, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4You are so right. 90% of the dorks on here are teenage, know-it-all, dunning-kruger, no-life, no-girlfriend-acquiring-skills, video-game-addicted, kids!
- trylleklovn, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Digger.. Please.
- jdibiase, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1But the dozens of comments under nearly every article that make it obvious that the person didn't read the article make it a little difficult to not digg people down. Also, I'd add a commandment that you should read the comments above before you add your own ... repetitive comments get really tiring.
- homagenz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Yeah? Respect. I used to be in the AV club till I got kicked out for my views on Vietnam. Also I was stealing projectors.
- zadadka, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1live up to your name :p
- jdibiase, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2It's not the system that's childish.
- rejoined, on 10/11/2007, -3/+3@LiberalsSucksAss: You suck more!
- homagenz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1You are my favourite digger of the day. My house-digger, if you will.
- homagenz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Mo' diggitty, no doubt.
Fo shizzle my dizzle. - wattznext, on 10/11/2007, -4/+4Thank god no one has said "thou shalt not refresh the comments page every 30 seconds after making a comment to see how many diggs you are getting" ;)
- homagenz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Well, when you put it THAT way...
- jtbndy, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2"12. Thou shalt deem trolls to be those who oppose what is good i.e. Apple, Nintendo, and Linux and those who applaud what is evil i.e. Microsoft, Sony, RIAA/MPAA, and Scientology"
Was going to make a comment regarding this exact topic, but you summed it up nicely :) - bigstinky, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1@liberals...
No disrespect to you but...
How can anyone think you'll intelligently argue and debate with a moniker that already shows your hard-lined stance?
Conservatives as well, (because you are implying that Digg is made up entirely of liberal, Bush hating , gay loving, pro abortion scientists, playing nintendo emulators on their imacs) always seem to take the opinion you show in your original post, but spin it around...And rarely if ever vary from it. The only exception is that conservatives always make the "hate" face when they debate. (As well as speak while their opponent attempts to defile their argument.)
BTW, My moniker is bigstinky, because I'm big and stinky. I know someone will eventually imply the same thing to me and my name, but I'm not insulting anyone . - PunkRampant, on 10/11/2007, -2/+1Good list, but I disagree with LOLCATS encouragement because to me it's just as annoying as "will it blend"
- guymal, on 10/11/2007, -3/+2Am I the only one who diggs headlines without always reading the article?
In many cases the title and description are enough to understand what the item is about so I don't always need to go to the actual article. - heydigital, on 10/11/2007, -6/+5Or just submit a pro-Apple story and have it instantly go to the front page.
- arnoldrimmer, on 10/11/2007, -1/+0Thou shalt not double vote from the same computer IP address hahahah
If you are behind a "Proxyserver" with 650 other Internet users that can be a Problem^^
Thou shalt think first!! -
