if you’ve been experiencing an unusually high vote count to get to the homepage or are getting buried more often than not in the past week drop me an email, and let’s compare notes.

I can’t say for sure that I’ve been having much luck with my postings at digg…could be that my posts just suck though.

Yes, many of my submissions that went to the Front Page got buried within hitting the front page (many a times).

I suspect that politics now plays a big part. Before my advocacy of freedom became well known my stories received many more Diggs than they do now. If someone else posts my stories, they get far more Diggs. It’s not worth my time to post to Digg.com anymore.

Some very big political sites (specifically pro-freedom, constitutional types) basically cannot get digged thanks to the bury brigade.
I’ve seen stories with 4000+ diggs in 24 hours and they don’t even make it anywhere on digg. Not even their politics page shows them even when the top story has only around 900 diggs for the day.

Unfortunately I’ve seen an article on whats truly happening in Iraq, with soldiers fighting against al-Qeada not get anywhere, just because politically it would make Bush right.

Another reason Digg might be having problems? Seems the “Diggers†don’t have as much authority on Digg as one might think. Update: http://forthardknox.com/?p=236
