6 days since the last Ron Paul digg.com made it to the front page... [CENSORED]

http://digg.com/search?s=ron+paul&submit=Search&section=all&type=both&area=promoted&sort=new

look at the front page articles on ron paul, ordered newest to oldest.

The most recent frontpage article is from 6 days ago wtf is going on.

I've personally dugg several articles with over 1000 diggs in the past week. NONE of them made it to the font page. How is this even possible?

like this one: http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/Free_at_Last_2008
1347 diggs and never made it to the Popular category.

why are we getting censored from digg?

Look, the digg algorithim is fine-tuned against people voting en masse. What you do when you have "DIGG THIS" on this board, and everyone races over to digg Ron Paul stories, is normalize the standard of Ron Paul stories.

So.. basically, when the same group of people dig the same stories, their diggs count for less and less on the whole. Likewise, when people bury a story based on keywords, if the same people bury stories, their buries are less and less effective.

In short, what you guys have done is cheapen the value of the Ron Paul story. There are so many Ron Paul stories that the Digg algorithim has corrected to deal with the "RP Flood" coming over. Your votes are all lesser in value because of your past voting histories.

Therefore, it takes FAR fewer buries , and even in some cases depending on who voted the story up.. just one , to bury a story.

The answer is, stop digging only Ron Paul stories. Digg other stories. Bury other stories. Don't bury in just a category and don't digg in just a category. Be a broad user of the site, and not narrowly focused on Ron Paul.. and you'll find that you can digg or bury stories and have your vote count MORE.

Who really cares about digg anyways? I had never heard about it until I joined this forum.

Stop with the "censored" by digg thing. Seriously nothing that "diggable" has come up in the last 6 days. amirite?
