Digg got owned

check it. so then this guy takes advantage of dig and posts a ton of comments on a ton of stories and what not, and they each link to his blog. Apparently the digg kiddies were quite mad, but i think it was hilarious, and he did it in as classy a manner as he could.
This brings up an issue though: the war between digg and slashdot. It's funny because this is a war only fought bu the diggers. (this is the same as the digg/shoutwire conflict) Noone on slashdot complains about digg or bashes digg. They really shouldnt be considered directly competing websites at all. The supporters of digg are so cocky and sure that they're perfect. Granted slashdot isnt perfect, and granted i like Digg a whole lot too. Let me explain what i think needs to happen:
Slashdot doesnt need to change much. They do as good a job they can to put up to date news when they get it. It might seem like if slashdot made their story promotions work like digg, it would be great. no, then it would be digg. One of the biggest problems with digg is that there are tons of things that people think are cool that aren't worth being on the front page of a news website. How many photoshop tutorials must we see everyday, or neat tricks flash. A lot of these things are interesting sometimes, but dont put them on the front page of news. Perhaps have a seperate page for 'cool links if you're bored' or 'tutorials.' And leave the front page for news.
The other huge problem is that digg allows anyone to comment. (the least they could do is have a captcha to avoid some of the spam) but that's not even what i'm talking about. If you want to read the comments on a story, you see 50 people saying "cool. digg++" or "old story no digg."
No one wants to see that. That's why they have the digg button. That should say whether or not you like it.
The point is digg absolutely needs a comment moderation system (i know they have one but it sucks) no one uses it. Slashdot has a great one, and it works. They label posts as funny or intelligent or helpful, et cetera. Not everyone can do this though. Mod poins are given out randomly and allow people to moderate. Perhaps diggers should earn mod points by digging other stories. I dont know how it would work, but that's why i dont code for digg. At any rate, I can't stand looking at the comments on digg stories anymore, and until they fix it, that and a few other things will be keeping digg at the level of 'An okay site to find some cool articles' and i'll be getting my news elsewhere.
