Iowa Announcement Posted On Digg

[LibertyCzar]

This is an improved version of the previously submitted Thread.

I posted the Announcement on Digg, and mentioned the free food. Didn't refer to the beverages, but they'll find out. Who passes on free food?

It seems to be quiet on Digg right now. Maybe some that bury are still in bed with hangovers.

Anyway, here's the link in code form.

It's official, 30 minutes have passed since I posted this on Digg, and no one has submitted anything since. That is slow. Saturday mornings appear to be the time to get things posted on Digg.

At just past an hour since this posting, we are at 65 Diggs and 12 comments.

They buried it.

They buried it.

See what I'm saying about digg. a waste of time. a legitimate story gets buried, regardless of who post it. are we done with this useless cycle of support a website who can care less about you are your freedom of the press?

We could just bury all of the other stories to be an equalizer??

Just give them the same punishment...

I'm pretty disgusted and frustrated with Digg right now. I make an Obama submission, and posted this comment inside:

So I am beginning to see that the people burying Ron Paul stories are liars and hypocrites. Sure, "Too many Ron Paul stories. So I'm going to bury them all." Bull! I've given you NINE submissions that do not have to do with Ron Paul. And what do you do? You BURY them! Seems to me you are burying the people doing the submitting, not the submissions themselves!​

EDIT: That was after this comment:

Here's something that is NOT about Ron Paul. Here is something from mainstream media. Barack Obama is like the most popular thing on the internet next to Ron Paul. So where are all those that do not like Ron Paul? Here you have what you claim you want.​

Is the RP website considered spam to Digg? So they'll bury it or something.

 

[LibertyCzar]

I'm not sure. In theory you could post each and every Thread from a forum. It might not be considered relevant, being that anyone can post a thread.

Posting to show the existence of the forum, in and of itself, to point out the forum as a whole is different. That should be okay. Of course, with the name attached to the forum, it'll be hard to keep from being buried.

I've been saying this for weeks. Nobody listens. Democracy is about TALKING to your neighbors not hiding behind your keyboards.
