Digg has clamped down on a new service which claims to allow publishers to manipulate ratings on the social bookmarking site.
The offending site, User/Submitter, describes itself as an opportunity for Digg users to “make easy money” by promoting articles, while charging publishers a fee for the privilege.
However, a statement on the site says it had been forced to rework its system after being discovered by Digg during trials.
It says: “Digg has recently been disabling user accounts that have shown obvious patterns of using User/Submitter. At this time, please wait to use User/Submitter until we rework the system to help users avoid getting disabled by Digg.
“We should be rolling out this new version of User/Submitter in a few days.”
