That would end this discussion of "mass burials". The "Digg this" and "Vote" buttons are pretty simple. You like the post, you vote. You don't like it, don't read it and don't vote. There's no reason to kick it in the ribs. I have yet to see a really convincing argument of why these buttons have value, other then "that's how it is on Digg". In a way this is like going to the polls every 4 years and un-voting people. Kinda weird. Just my opinion of course. :-) Have an awesome day! Dan Guys,

Duggtrends (http://duggtrends.com/buried.aspx) is a great resource for stories that have been buried right off the frontpage. Several of my own posts at DJI have been buried as well -- and its no secret the ones which are sensitive to this -- ones which are critical of Digg, ones which discuss SEO, and even the fact that its a blog entry at all. Cheers t Yep — lots of these examples abound.

It did however still get over 300 diggs as the <a href="http://techtites.com/2007/02/24/how-reddit-beat-the-digg-mafia/" rel="nofollow">Reddit Mob </a> and other disgruntled Digg users tried to get it re-instated!
