Comments on: Digg cracks down on group voting

Social news site launches a new algorithm that punishes group voting. The result: stories that reach the homepage will need to voted in by diverse group of people.

Turns out the algorithm contains just two lines of code.

I can type it out right here:

IF group == "Ron Paul Supporter":
Deny Digg;

This is not going to work, know also digg member are asking for there vote on Im's friend list....digg algorithem can't stop this anyway, know digg is not a good place to read any of its stuff...people are still making there crap stroy to front page by the help of there IM's friend list.

"As I am writing this, there are three stories in the upcoming section with over 150 diggs, the most popular standing at 155." I think they might hit these story with lots of digg with three Im's friend list....

Beware digg people are agin going to do planning to fool you.They are going to make strong plan to promote there stuff.

Know digg is not good place to advertise with....if they had some strong fundamentals to stop those froud, then I will think to advertise with digg.

Agreed JimmyTonic, this was put in place to stop Ron Paul supporters from boring the rest of us with a never gonna happen candidate for President. Good move.
