How can Digg discourage people from creating communities they have no intention of maintaining?

It’s frustrating to stumble onto a community only to find an empty shell with no info and an absent founder. These are spaces created on a whim by users who never bother to add a description, set ground rules, or make any real effort to grow them. This digital land-grabbing doesn't just create clutter; it prevents active, passionate users from building something meaningful under those names.

I think in this early phase of Digg it’s critical that we stop treating community creation like a "save for later" button and start treating it like the commitment it is.

I personally run and , and even when engagement is low, I’m in there every day. I make it a point to keep them active, check for spam, and clear out off-topic junk or rule-breakers. It takes effort to keep a community healthy, and it's frustrating to see others just hit 'create' and walk away.
