We come across such situations a lot over at 9rules and fortunately have done pretty well. For everyone that thought user-controlled content sites was the wave of the future you better think twice. It will be interesting to see how the site looks in a couple of hours and what the aftermath of all this will be. Almost funny that just last week I asked what happens when Digg plateaus and not too long ago what would you do if you were the CEO of Digg.

The last few days I have been observing the stories that have hit the front page, and I was really not impressed. It has seemed that more junk stories have surfaced in recent weeks/months. They need to rework the system. They may need to take the Google approach and begin blacklisting users that trending tells them are perpetual front-pagers, or groups that always vote together. Seems like a drastic measure, but at the same time, it's not a popularity contest of who makes the front page the most, it's a news site. Its funny you wrote about this.
