Dear Digg: I hate to say it @kevinrose, but please moderate (or something)

Posted:

There are words that would normally have never left my lips (or in this case, fingertips). Digg, please moderate your front page. The bury button is gone. I can accept that now, even if I believe that it was a useful tool. I understand that there were issues with the bury button that made it often hurt the site and prevent good content from hitting. BUT If you are no longer going to give the power to the people to prevent spam from hitting your front page, then at the very least have someone check the Top News section every 10 minutes. Just a quick peak. Normally, only 1 story rolls on in any given 10 minute interval so it shouldnt take but a couple of seconds. There is no reason that MobileMonopoly(dot)com should have been allowed to stay on the front page for over 10 minutes. It shouldnt have stayed for over 1 minute. It was a phishing site that was challenging to even leave. Hundreds of people may have clicked on the link. It could have (should have) been snubbed from the beginning. Its as if you do not realize that as a trusted social news site you have a responsibility to your millions of users to keep links like this off. It wouldnt take much money. You can probably get voluteers. Heck, I would volunteer. While I would never recommend anything that would break the user-voted nature of the site and turn it into a Slashdot, I would strongly recommend some common-sense spam filtering. Check your site, every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The moment something hits the front page, someone should be there to say, This is blatant spam and now its gone. Or, just bring back the bury button. That may be even easier.
