What to do About Diggspam

This Gizmodo article talks about a policy thats been badly in need for some time now.

A new Digg policy here, out of respect for the Digg community.

-No big yellow Digg badges for articles unless they have original content, new reporting, treatment, or photos.

It's not fair when we get the Digg for someone else's work. Let's keep the signal-to-noise ratio high, dudes.

And btw, Digg user "Iwanttodiggthis," I appreciate you reading Gizmodo so closely, as you're clearly a supporter, but can you stop submitting almost every story we have? – Brian Lam

Whats good about this is that, unfortunately, it forces people into voting articles on Gizmodo that Gizmodo creates. Everyone wants eyeballs out there on the web and I'm a big proponent of self-policing, but diggers should stop posting to digg the aggregaters of content and do what the submission site says itself, post directly to the content. Granted, these smaller sites would more likely succumb to the diggeffect but they would also reap more benefit from the advertising dollars. Maybe, just maybe this idea will spread and keep blogspam off Digg.
