Marketingshift found a company that is paying people to DIGG the company’s stories.  There’s always someone trying to take advantage of the system - make it do something it was not intended for.

"The company paying to sabotage Digg’s attempts at a democratic process is hiding behind anonymous registration through company RespectMyPrivacy.com that will hide your identity for a small fee. If these guys feel they have a legitimate business, they should have the courage not to hide behind anonymous registration. Let’s see how the Digg community responds to RespectMyPrivacy.com I wouldn’t be surprised if some folks crashed their servers by spamming their inbox. "

The last thing I want to see is taking something that "kinda" works and braking it; I have my differences with how stories get ranked but no one wants fraud.  Paying people for their DIGG is fraud, it’s not real representation of what the Digger’s opinion of the story is.
