Naturally I read it. Part of the problem is that Digg is actively trying to prohibit political activity, and this drives groups like this underground and force them to use crazy tactics. My snide comment is that when you have a democracy, it's completely natural for people to band together to press their viewpoint, in fact that's the entire point, and the tone of the article is laughable.

Anyway I address multiple identities, but I don't understand how they're blocking other people from participation? Them mining enemies' old posts for TOS violations in order to get them banned, well, who's fault is that really.




They're abusing the 'bury' feature by incorrectly flagging as spam. As a solution, it should be fairly simple to detect abuse of the bury, and make those people's buries ineffective.
