I think, like a lot of people, digg is a great site and communities are forming as the user base grows into 'groups' or communities of friends.
There are two types of user however that are becoming more common;
1. The Hater
2. The Preacher
Firstly the hater, lets use an example. There has been a user I have reported to Digg Abuse many times, but, he keeps creating new Id's (some of these have been jamescarville, mudpplsuck, diggfaggot, and the latest one today - redmeat) His hobby is using the words 'mud people' faggot's (or as he says 'fagg0t') After a little google work - we find that this is a 52 yr old man from Pittsburg - into cars and share dealing.
Secondly - The preacher. These are users, usually webmasters of other sites - who put a spin on news stories (usually religious) on the same issues day after day. An example of this is the user iloveonenewsnow. This guy has submitted loads of stories with a religious spin (usually to spread hate) - This is SPAM plain and simple - however we cant email digg abuse on this. These are users who only submit stories, never digg other stories and never comment.
Its such a shame these people exist who cloud an excellent site
