I see this a lot, it usually involves trading diggs on digitalpoint forums, and 24 hours later everyone gets banned… Rinse and repeat!
Wow that is really funny. What a sad waste of time for that person. I mean, fine he is selling something, everyone is selling something but come on! Have some grace, some finesse, something!
Yeah digitalpoint is a nightmare for trading things like that. I remember seeing one post where they guaranteed 1st page on digg within 24 hours. This is the main thing that is annoying my about Digg and the whole link baiting thing at the moment. While writing good unique content of your own for link bait is a good thing is valid and good i think. Too many people rip off articles and use them as link bait. They are not even obvious about it either, I have seen several articles directly copying the BBC News and just declaring the source of the article at the bottom. It is kinda frustrating too as sometimes I just think I just just climb onto the bandwagon and do the same seeing as spamming digg has considerably less consequences than spamming Google etc
