For the past few months, we at TR have been regularly submitting links to new articles to Digg, the popular community-based news site. However, we noticed that several of our recent submissions have been mysteriously "buried" for no clearly apparent reason. As the term implies, burying a Digg post makes it invisible and removes it from either the site's front page or the upcoming stories queue, depending on how popular it was before the burial. While Digg shows which users "digg" a story to promote it to the front page, the site withholds information about which users bury stories. Searching for information about the subject led us to an interesting article on Wired that talks of a "bury brigade" over at Digg.
