This is also related to the recent case where the owners of AutoAdmit (a law student BBS) have been sued due to ongoing harassment of female law students. I wonder, is there something about mass anonymity that encourages misogyny? In both cases, the victim of the attack was a woman.

Kevin Rose has mentioned their existence in passing a few times, but I wager part of it is that they don't want to be seen capitulating to Netscape's model of doing things (or is it merely a behind the scenes tete a tete with Jason Calacanis -- who knows). The issue with the moderators is that they have be good -- *really* good -- when it comes to making sure clearly inappropriate material doesn't surface to the front page. I think its an issue of scale. Digg is so big that if something were to surface on the front page -- even, let's say at 0500 EST on a Sunday morning -- hundreds of people are still going to see it. The moderators have to be quick enough to take it down within minutes -- not hours. Are they that good yet? I don't think so. And I think it will require a public relations disaster to make it so. cheers t @ dji Hey Stan,
