Wrong, of course. Do you actually know what nymshifting is?
Evidently not.

and submissions (there are APIs and feeds for that), then
modding them many of down. He admitted doing that blindly

Strike two. For one week, I tried to mod every one of your
comments down, to check your claim that it would take hours
a day to do that. I determined that it would take about 5
minutes a day, tops, and thus determined that your claims
that your poor performance on Digg must be due to people
being paid to bury were you were unsupported by the
evidence.
People are on to Roy Schestowitz over on digg and Roy doesn't
like it so he goes crying like a baby to the admins. Read some
of the comments by people. How the hell can he reach -157 with
just a couple of COLA trolls burying him? It's not possible.
The real truth, and what Roy is hoping will be steam rolled,
is that Roy is a very unlikeable person over on digg. People
have Roy figured out and can vote with their opinion, unlike
over in COLA where he floods the place whenever he wants and
has his ignorant choir defend him. That doesn't work on digg.

Tim seems to know much better what is happening in my
account in Digg (the
I know how to use a web site that reports Digg stats by
user. That's how I know that of your last 50 comments, you
got an average of 2.42 positive ratings (including the
rating of 1 a comment starts with), and 6.92 negative
ratings, for a net of -4.5.
Where is this website? It seems like an interesting place.
Interestingly, everyone you claim is a troll there to stalk
you has a net positive rating. Furthermore, you tend to do
worse on stories that get popular, and thus have more
exposure to the general Digg population.
Roy is like a person who comes to work with the flu. The more
people he comes in contact with and infects with his parnoid,
narcissistic personality, the more people dislike him. Digg
users are a lot smarter than COLA freaks so Roy can't use his
typical tricks to bury bad press.
Narcissist? Paranoid? Sounds like a consistent trait of the
comment spammer that posted this shite.
trolls used to post some statistics here) and I imagine
that the score he mentions above (I don't know what the
comment is) is one of those where a ~10-line sig is
appended to protest against Digg staff for not banning the
COLA trolls (yet), who do nothing but attack me (don't
be misled. When they are not in COLA they do their
shilling elsewhere). Anyway, not everyone is happy with
that protest of mine -- a protest against slander and
systematic modding down on my contributions (silencing
attempts), so I'm modded down. They did the same thing to
the profile in Google Groups.
Roy, you get dugg down on Digg becuase, among other reasons,
you post inaccurate information, you post off-topic
information (pretty much everything you post in the windows
section, for example), you post identical comments to
multiple stories (it is called spam, Roy, and Digg users
don't like spam), you post many links to your own sites (but
criticize others who post links to their own sites), you
call anyone who disgrees with you a shill, and you appear to
use automated software to do some of your posting (and it is
buggy software).
I believe Roy *IS* using automated software and I have
reported him to the digg administrators to have them
investigate. I have sent, amongst other things, time stamped
messages from both COLA, Netscape and digg and have inquired
as to how Roy could possibly be posting all of these messages
within minutes of each other to multiple places if he were not
circumventing the system.
This is NOT an attack on Roy Schestowitz in any shape form or
fashion as I believe Roy is as entitled to his opinion as much
as anyone else. Quite unlike Roy himself who believes people
that disagree with him should be sileneced. Really odd
considering he fancies himself an open source freedom fighter.
That's known as a hypocrite BTW.
The reason Roy's posting is being questioned is because it
violates diggs policy on using automated devices to post and
in effect skews the site which totally goes against what digg
is all about.
Time will be the judge as to what digg administration thinks
of Roy, but the evidence for him using robot software to post
is overwhelming.
(posted to groups that Roy Frequently SPAMS with his nonsense)
Hmmm, Roy posts to microsoft.public.windows.vista.general and
comp.sys.mac.advocacy? Perhaps in response to a cross post,
otherwise it is an interesting lie.
