Kevin Rose removed from Top Diggers Lists
Some of you may have noticed that Kevin Rose (Digg user kevinrose) no longer appears in both the Digg's Top 100 and Top 1,000 Users lists. It was recently brought to my attention that Kevin's profile page shows that he has submitted 295 stories to Digg, but somehow, 298 of his submissions have reached the front page.
Gaming the system like this will not be tolerated, and any Digg users caught breaking the laws of mathematics will immediately be banned from both Top Users lists.
Christopher Finke is a software engineer at Mahalo. He is available for birthday parties and bar mitzvahs.

This has been happening for awhile, now, actually. Check my open letter to Kevin that I wrote earlier this month. It was first spotted in May.

Tamar,
May? The over 100% Kevin Rose thing has been going on since well before May.

[...] Whatever the reason be, cheating and gaming Digg is not easy. Then people discovered new ways to track the Top Digg users. Here is the list of Top 100 Diggers, updated daily using publicly available information by Christopher Finke. If you want more, they also have a list of top 1000 Digg users.
