Things that Irritates Digg users !

I have been using Digg for more than 4 months. There is something that need to Understood for becoming a Successful Digg user. I have heard that Digg Users are weird and dont give a digg even if the article deserves , but this is not true. You need to Understand what every Digger likes or hates.This will help you to become a successful and Good digg user.
Read the following very carefully. I wrote this with my little observation.


The Following are things that irritates most of the diggers.

1) "Can You Share this with your Friend ."

This is the most common thing in Mutual Digg friends that irritates the most of the Diggers . This is not applicable to all diggers as some digg users are so good that they feel good to share for a friend. Every digger wants to promote his Own article. So after Submitting the article he asks some Diggers to Share it with their friends. The Digger who is asked to share may find this irritating. You Must not ask to share untill or Unless he is your good friend . Ask him to Share only if he wants to, otherwise you both will endup in cold " IM war ".(Instant Messaging War)



2) Getting similar Shout more than twice...

Many Diggers hates getting Similar Shout more than twice including me. Digger hates it as they feel, "What the hell ( i dont like using F-word ) , i just saw this article two minutes before ."

If you think that shouting more than twice will help you to promote your article or submission then you are wrong. Getting a similar Shout more than twice is really irritating. Your article might be Undigged even if you wrote a very good article. You will also lead to be out of his Mutual friendlist.

Try not to shout more than twice. You can shout if you really need a Push for getting your article on Front Page. Another shout is Understandable only if you a need few digg for making your article on Front page. This doesnt mean that that you have shout when you got less than 60 diggs for makingup a Front page. The second Shout is acceptable only if you have above 60 diggs.If you got less than 60 digg in 20 hrs. Forget that submission and go for anther one

3) Rude and Abusive Comments ..

Rude and abusive people are never welcomed .Everybody likes Good and positive comments. Be sure that you write a good comment even if you dont like the article. Try to give such comments which will help him to improve his skills. If you write a rude comment your comment will surely get buried (atleast by the author ).

You must know that even Digg don't like rude comments and therefore there is a " Report it " link given, Where Digg is asking that "is this User being offensive." So be careful that you dont hurt someone's feeling and also save yourself from getting banned.

4) Getting banned ..

Of course, its very fustrating and irritating when you get Banned. Remember, no one can ban you unless or untill you did something wrong or bad. You pay for what you do. So take care while digging that you dont do anything that is Wrong, bad or against TOS. I know it feels so bad when you lose a hard built profile in just few seconds.

Try to follow rules, as they are not meant to be broken.


5) Behave like a Human .. We are not Robots.

Don't force your Mutual Digg friend to digg each and every article. This is very irritating when someone just keeps on asking you for digg constantly on IM. If you do this then there will be no difference between shout and IM. Shout is a request message to check out the submitted article and IM is something more important for conversations.

Your Friend is a Human, not Robot or your slave. Let him decide whether the article deserves a digg or not.

Human is a social animal and loves to live in group or company. Also Interact with him so that you can make your work interesting by meeting different kind of people.

If you think i missed anything , please let me know .
