Agree, that kind of specific behavior is really not cool. I think though the idea of trying to uplift or bury a story through organized voting is fine.

- anthonyb 16y agoVote up? Sure. Bury? No, since burying it in "record time" denies other people the opportunity to vote on it.
- culled 16y agoIt's been a few years since I've really used Digg but how does burying something prevent other people from voting on it? My impression was that once something is submitted it goes on the upcoming page where all the stories are presented chronologically and buries only affect whether it gets on the front page or not. Do things get removed from the upcoming page after a certain number of down-votes?
- anthonyb 16y agoI haven't used it for a while either, but I'm pretty sure that "bury" kills stories off completely. From their FAQ (http://about.digg.com/how http://about.digg.com/how): Bury. If you find stories with bad links, off-topic content, or duplicate entries, click “Bury.” That’s how we get the spam out of the system and let the good stuff rise to the top. Other than that, they're pretty sketchy on what exactly it does.
