Yeah, looks like the source is good now! Congrats! However, to whomever run userscripts.org, it sucks that you've set the script source code page body to "text-align:center" for IE users! Who wants to read code centered!?! |

Wow! I just looked at TheBunman's code and it isn't even that bad! It waits for you to view the article summary, and even then it pops up a confirmation. C'mon! With all the controversy I expected it to just bury EVERYTHING on the home page that was from Daily Mail, maybe 2 or 3 or 4 stories on every page. But this? This isn't bad. This is like a helper application. However, what IS bad is that it auto-posts a comment saying that the story was autoburied and providing a link to the script. That's spammy. In fact, that's just as bad as someone posting spammy stories! So TheBunman, I'd encourage you to release a new version with the auto-comment lines removed. Just allow the buries without spamming the discussion. Good luck! |

If someone is going to manually bury daily mail articles, I don't see anything wrong with automating it. People can bury stories for any number of reasons. I often bury stories because of certain authors or sites. Some groups are notorious for being spammy, and it's a good thing for members to react to that. In the case of daily mail, I believe it has a reputation for being poorly fact-checked and sensationalist. That's the kind of thing I can shrug off or even laugh at, but for people who want Digg to appear as more "legit" let them put in their 2 cents. They're doing what they think is correct for Digg. |

please don't install this script. automatically burying stories spoils other people's enjoyment of the digg website. |
