This happened to me last week, wrote a great story, got to frontpage and was up to 300 diggs and was buried and marked as inaccurate even though there wasn’t anything inaccurate about it…

I disagree that Digg users in general would welcome this. Otherwise they would still be hanging out at Slashdot.

It shouldn’t be up to Digg to decide what gets on the homepage, it should be up to the community. The only way I can see it being welcomed is if the story is blatant spam.

There has never been a spam problem in the past, at least not that I have noticed.

Technically Stefan reported the issue to Twitter, but same idea.

You are right not only in that this was going on before the whole HD-DVD fiasco but also in your feeling that it is likely welcomed by some of the community…at least for now…

If the auto-burying (call it what you will) of sites continues to escalate all we will be left with is about a dozen large sites that are able to make the frontpage – and at that point, what is the point of Digg?
