6 Ways to Rid Divine Caroline From Digg Once and For All

Recently I declared an all out war against the infiltration of Divine Caroline on the social networking news site Digg. Since articles on Digg are displayed in order of most popular all someone needs to do is get all their friends together and vote their own articles up. This is what I feel happens with Divine Caroline articles. Then the bulk of readers are stuck with worthless blurbs of irrelevant nonsense. Realizing the direness of the situation I'm proving this easy guide that Digg users can refer to in our collective quest to eliminate the Divine Caroline effect once and for all.

1) Recognize the problem. At first it may not be clear when a website is cheating the system to get their articles on the front page. Read the article and judge for yourself. Does this article grate against your sense of what is considered intellectually stimulating? Are you more inclined to kill small animals or scowl at scared and friendless children after reading the article? If so, then chances are then you've been Divine Carolined into reading worthless content.

2) Log in and bury the article. I know logging in just to bury bland content may at times seem like a chore. You just have to do it. It's like working out, flossing, or telling your girlfriend she looks hot. It has to become a habit, otherwise fat, plaque and nagging will slowly creep up on you. And then you'll be a toothless, obese loner with nothing but unstimulating content on Digg to pass the time.

3) Write comments on the offending article pointing out that this content is not front page worthy. The reason is that many people will see an article high up on the Digg charts and therefore think it's great. Filtering the comments with reality will help stop the lemming effect that Divine Caroline so desperately leeches off of.

4) Bury the comments that smell like insider propaganda. They're fairly easy to pick out. If you just read a totally lame composition that would best be repurposed as a psychological torture tool in a North Korean labor camp, chances are they're playing for the home team. Just click the little thumbs down on them to get them off the screen.

5) Write blogs about what you dislike most about Divine Caroline and submit it to Digg. This one is probably the most powerful. Imagine a world where every user who feels land blasted by the steady stream of ludicrosity writes a dissertation on why they despise the site. I'd like to see a week's worth of articles against them. I don't care if bad publicity is still good publicity. If they want to profit form being one large collective schmuck, I'm all for it.

6) Never forgive, eventually forget. Sites like Divine Caroline intend to be around a while. They wouldn't take lightly being eliminated from one of the premier social networking news sites on the web, even if they well deserve it. It's likely they'll keep coming back for a while. In the words of Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody's impersonator, Barty Crouch Jr., "Constant Vigilance!"
