Their take was briefer and more profane. Penny Arcade highlighted this issue years ago, and it hasn’t changed at all. Their take was briefer and more profane.

I completely agree with this, but it reminds me of something I read a while ago. A lot of sites trying to jump on the Web 2.0 bandwagon haven't studied their history. Everyone says "yay, the Internet allows us free speech!" but they don't realize that there's this decades-old thing called the BBS and Usenet which solved this problem a long time ago: moderators. People volunteer to scour the posts and get rid of or edit irrelevant or otherwise undesired posts. Granted, on a site like Digg, this might be difficult, which is why the comment-voting system is in place. But it doesn't seem to work, and just starts more fights. Digg needs more moderators. A lot more. this article sux why cant u talk about important stuff gtfo n00b
