I work with a number of sites that typically have no business appearing on Digg - but we pulled together some great content, promoted it, and had a short string of successes. Now, even a great story from one of these sites, simply doesn't appear in upcoming. I wasn't even aware of the auto-bury dynamic until a week or two ago, but there is little doubt in my mind that my sites are on the list. I also suspect that my profile has been flagged after I called out another submission for blatant plaigarism - but that may just be a personal vendetta by another user. The lack of transparency is pathetic, and undermines the fundamental community dynamic. If I'm willing to adjust my content to make it more palatable for the digg audience, than how does it make any sense to auto-bury it? Shouldn't the community continue to validate or invalidate a site's content? If my site's submissions shift from spammy to spectacular, isn't that win for everyone? They can't hide behind their terms of service forever...or can they? Yeah, saw the same thing here.

Or was that a misquote? Do yuo realize that Digg is now worthless to Jay and Kevin? The last round of investment left Digg in the hands of the investors. Even if Digg is sold Jay and Kevin will not get a cent. Their only chance is to hang on to it and hope to make it profitable with the new influx of Facebook users. Autobury? The Digg mafia have their own GreaseMonkey scripts that find and bury posts by keyword, URL, Domain and UserName. @Owen Byrne,

Owen you should start another one and give them some direct competition. I can’t say I am a fan considering I have posted some cool articles that were much better then the ones on the front page..

Co-founder until the execs decided I wasn't co-founder - instead I was the guy who built digg for $1000 at $10 an hour (both numbers blatantly false). Just don't believe anything Kevin Rose or Jay Adelson say and you'll be much happier. I know I am. As I like to tell people, I’m the living proof.
