(Buried, or manually removed?) Michael Arrington mentioned the list at TechCrunch, and the readers commenting on his post inexplicably turned against Netscape. Even though my actions had nothing to do with Netscape, the fact that I write code for them as well apparently makes my reproduction of the list “lame”: “If this would have come from someone NOT at a competitor (in this case Netscape), I would have thought ‘cool!’ The fact that this comes from someone at Netscape makes me think ‘lame!’.” Deep Jive Interests (a personal favorite of mine) was the first to wonder how long it would be until I heard from Digg’s infamous legal team. Nothing yet, but I’ll blog about anything that comes in. This blog somehow decided to go with the headline “Netscape Bringing Top Digg Users Page Back.” I think if Netscape was sponsoring this effort, they’d want some kind of mention somewhere on the page. What? It only links to Digg? That’s awfully strange. Like many others, Technacular incorrectly reported that I was scraping user profile pages for the rank number that is displayed there; kudos to them, however, for being the only ones to update their post after I sent them a clarification on how the script actually works. Additionally, my blog was linked from Techmeme, blurbed on Download Squad, and mentioned at ValleyWag. Oh, and there’s one question that I’ve been asked a few times that I’d like to address here: Sorry ladies, but I’m already taken. [...] [...] On resurrecting Digg’s Top Users page My restoration of Digg’s Top Users page yesterday got a lot of press around the Web: Both the list and my blog post about the list were submitted to Digg, but both were buried off of the front page.

In the past getting a story on the home page gets you one EXP and getting enough EXP helps you gain levels in the top digger system. By removing this side of Digg the only benefit you have left is selling out to spammers. With the meta-game removed from Digg the only way to game the site is by submitting spam.
