Does Digg play fair?

Digg has always claimed they don’t censor stories. Now SEORefugee offers some compelling evidence that maybe indeed they do:

At first I figured this was just a momentary glitch. However, it remained in this Anna Nicole Smith-esque (dead but not quite buried) state for over an hour. Also of note, is the fact that a Digg employee noticed my submission and commented on it just before the story did it’s mysterious disappearing act. User grendelboogie posted a brief but dismissive comment urging users to “move along.”After a couple of comments back and forth of grendel assuring me that the glitch had been fixed despite the claims found in the article, I questioned grendel about the purgatorial state of my submission. Not surprisingly, he has yet to respond.

There’s a lot more to it than this in the original article. Honestly, I find it hard to imagine they don’t censor things at least somewhat. Wouldn’t they get hate trolls purposely boosting some hideous article advocating killing people they dislike or something? There have to be some controls in place, and rightly so, given how their system can be bombed if enough friends get together with the right tech setup and boost a story.
