  Gosh, if this was in English, I think I would find this really interesting. I've been banned from a blog because my IP address was repeatedly hitting that site. I am accused of spamming. I have no idea what is happening.
  
  Someday when I have time, I would like to get to the bottom of it but in the meantime, I'll keep reading and trying to comprehend...

  Who made the accounts? To me it looks like Digg and crew are the ones making fake accounts to digg things. To pass blame is rediculous. They are actively filtering stories and banning users to try to cover up their problem and mistake. Its not a conspiracy. It is business. They have VC funding now, and there job is to make things look good as they continue to try to beat other social technology news sites.
  
  As for the "threshold of reports", you are telling me a story with two diggs can reach a threshold of reports in less than 2-5 minutes? Cause that was what was happening today. It was a sad mess, and Digg should be more clear about their stance on editing the news submitted to their service.
  
  Just my 2 cents on it.

  Umm Elliot - Kevin doesn't really answer anything. He doesn't explain how he got in the middle of the 'automated digging'. He doesn't show any proof that FG was spamming (in fact, the people who posted about getting banned were from other blogs). How can you instantly blame FG when they have chronicled what has happened clearly and Kevin hasn't answered anything?

  There are some other users inflating number of diggs, but why has digg army vanished?
