Most of you who are reading this must surely have used Digg in some way or the other. Every time you submit a story, it gets digged, buried, commented upon. The Digg comment system allows the users to rate comments (digg or bury them), report abusive comments and reply to them.

Eventually, you will find your comment rated upon, getting to the top or to the bottom (when it’s below the viewing threshold, as Digg says)

If you’re the kind of a person who likes to get some respect on Digg and get recognition via the comments, here’s how you should not comment on Digg:

Awesome, Cool, Good Post, No, Yes, I’m the first to comment, I agree and more such worthless comments will surely get buried on Digg. Remember, you’ve to put some comments worth reading. Newbies submit such comments.

Thanks for digging my post, I’m glad you liked it: All these are unnecessary for people who read comments. Most of the time, they get buried. Being a blog author, take care.

Swear Words: All kinds of bad words get down in the comments. Never say any such things. But still comments with such swear words get voted upon positively sometimes, if people believe that it’s really funny or if they agree upon what you’ve said.

Disagreement: When you get disagree with a story which most other people agree upon, your comment is bound to get down under.

Speak Against Mac/Apple? You know what’s digg? Many people think this: Apple Fanboys + People = Digg. Most of the time, it’s true. Comment against Apple’s products, and you’re down!

Anything else? So, the next time you comment on Digg, take care of these things.
