Forums - Website Topics - Stop Posting Crappy Digg Articles!

Look, I don't really care if you submit stories to digg...but "Mario Galaxy sells 1.1 million in 2 weeks, Mass Effect and Rock Band flop"?

It got buried as inaccurate, because it's obviously a flamebait title...you could have mentioned how Link's Crossbow Training "flopped" or just not mentioned "flops" at all.

I'm just saying, it gives this site a bad name if only certain articles, wording in the titles, etc get onto the frontpage of Digg.  And then it crashes our site.



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Diggs got enough bad articles on it's own sometimes XD I support this thread :P THEY DON'T NEED MORE ;-;



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

Is that where the 4,000 users came from? Site wouldn't load properly for nearly 2 hours.

What? When here were the 4000+ users, the site worked better than ever. Oh, and i agree with OP.

Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.

 

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

I agree it's a very bad idea to submit every single item of not-really-news we get to digg. Sooner or later they get fed up, and start burying everything with a URL that begins vgcha-. I know as I've seen it happen, and it doesn't help people are openly telling other users to go and digg these submission on a public forum anyone can view.

I also agree, though i don't truly know what Digg is, there is no point putting up an article for every game....Halo maybe deserved one...I don't even think SMG warranted an article (by which i mean a decent one, not one with Mass effect and rockband added in)

things like his Black Friday weeks numbers would have been good, as well as maybe the week before christmas....otherwise it has to be something significant and important (and preferably a "heard it here first") to give a link back to the site.
