The "Rudy bots" seem to have hit the social network website Digg about 3:00 pm or so...

Sound like abuse to you....???
Digg terms quote:
"By way of example, and not as a limitation, you agree not to use the Services:...
5. ...to create or submit unwanted email ("Spam") to any other Digg users or any URL;
9. with the intention of artificially inflating or altering the 'digg
count', blog count, comments, or any other Digg service, including by
way of creating separate user accounts for the purpose of artificially
altering Digg's services; giving or receiving money or other
remuneration in exchange for votes; or participating in any other
organized effort that in any way artificially alters the results of
Digg's services."
Guess the Ron Paul supporters have a challenge on their hands...
I have seen some Ron Paul spam on there, but nothing like this...
(And obviously I am a Ron Paul supporter...)

First point: term 9 mentions "artificially inflating or altering" and then further on "artifically alters the results". 121 posts in 5 hours in possible by a human. Arguing digg TOU violation is a exercise in futility - if digg.com doesn't like a given user behavior, I am sure they have plenty of tools to find unwanted behavior and all the power they need to address it.
There are some users on digg.com who just won't admit to any Ron Paul story being legitimate. I've followed plenty of them and trust me I've tried to ask for a reasonable standard - they have none.
Let's not spread a meme of distrust - don't claim spam - the term isn't even applicable on digg for the most part as you can't get email from being a user unless you make an effort to post an email address in your profile.
I have no objection to pointing out a prolific Rudy Giuliani user but I join you in saying "Go on Rudy booster - make my day."

Hey Dave4RPaul! Thanks for voting in my meetup.com contest.
I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to when you talk about Rudy Spamming? Do you think Rudy Giuliani's campaign is spamming digg or just an avid fan.
I can't find any user called RUDYGIULIANI on digg when I search? Do you know where I can find the proof?
Thanks Dave,
From Another Dave That Likes RPaul!

Maybe I spelled it wrong, but it doesn't look that way..
Did you discover that yourself! That's crazy funny.
You mean the postings?

Pages worth of it..
