"Digg Spam" bloggs, and a possible way to fix it

Another post about "Digg Spam", which is a continuation of the series of posts on options and reactions to what many, and I have been doing since the feature appeared on digg...


After much discussion about this topic, in the comments of this particular blog post , a good way to stop the leeching of traffic from Digg has possibly come together in a great way. The commenting system of Digg, after a recent update allows people to thumbs up or thumbs down a comment, if there are enought negative posts on a comment, its burried. This is exactly how the blog system should work, though instead of it being collapsed a certain threashold of negative votes would first determine a suspension of the blogging feature, and then if another ammount of negative votes of a blogged digg article appears, he would be permanently banned from using it. It shouldn't be so hard for this to be implemented. If anyone has comments on this, feel free to speak your mind via comments :).

Well, with the recent article (http://www.moddedup.com/2006/06/50_digg_flavoured_spam_blogs.html) that I've read, bringing out the fact that people just blog them to get there post ranks up, thats why I brought up this idea.
