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.

Kevin Rose is more powerful than math

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.

    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.

    I’m pretty sure that’s the fastest way to rip a whole in the space time continuum. Doesn’t he have any respect for the rest of our lives.

    That’s a spam trackback, I believe, sir. :)

    Tamar,

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