These days it seems like everyone’s written an article or blog entry on all things digg, e.g. why you shouldn’t game digg, digg etiquette, whether digg is rigged. Jeff and I thought we’d join the bandwagon and offer our profound expertise on how to get banned from Digg:
- Tell digitalgopher that his mother was a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries, and then fart in his general direction.
- Have Alzheimer’s, or be like Leonard from Memento. “Oh, this digg website looks neat! I’ll make a profile. Hey, this story seems cool! I’ll digg it.” Ten minutes later… “Oh, this digg website looks neat! I’ll make a profile. Hey, this story seems cool! I’ll digg it…”
- Undercut other users by submitting the exact same entry as theirs, only differentiating yours by adding “Read this one instead! It’s super-cool!” in the title.
- Submit a story titled “Top 10 Reasons Why Netscape is the Coolest Ever!”
- Submit an article that has pictures of Kevin Rose spooning Owen Byrne.
- For each article on digg, post a comment that says, “Lame. Dugg down because it looks so fake.” Actually, since it’s on digg it should look more like, “laim. dug down bcoz it loks fak.”
- Keep submitting stories like, “How to Smuggle Explosives onto a Plane” and “Best Ways to Take Out a Government Building.” This is also a good way to see what an FBI official looks like in person, though you’ll probably be handcuffed as well.
- Or you could keep submitting stories that are nothing more than pictures of you wearing a tutu and covered in butterscotch.
- Trash Ubuntu and say SuSE is where it’s at.
- Submit a story titled, “Hey, Have You Seen This Cool Star Wars Kid Video?”
There you have it. Now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
