Digg adds another level of moderation

Posted at 6:42 pm under Hypocrites

Digg’s one of those weird things.

If they would just come out, have moderators, and admit things are controlled, things would be fine.

OR

If they would just let it be like the wild wild West, that would be fine too.

Instead, they claim to be #2 while constantly acting like #1 (although you could make a case that they’re full of #2 if you know what I mean).

Check this out. A user got this (the original site is off line, but here’s the text of the e-mail):

Your account was banned for the rate of Digging activity you’ve engaged in. We’ve determined that the time in which your Diggs happen, it isn’t possible to actually read the stories. Please read each and every story before you Digg or bury a story. Once you agree that you will Digg/bury more responsibly and read the stories, we will unban your account”.

Nothing like letting the community decide who has a quality opinion. Well done, Digg!
