digg-playerimage.pngToday, while browsing through my RSS feeds, i saw a story on digg that captured my attention. ‘Amazing FPS with Doom 3 quality Graphics.. but it’s only 1mb!‘ I downloaded the game that is 98kb and started to play.
The game is an amazing piece of work for its size.

The game isnt complete, so in 10min i finished the demo, and went to check out the comments people were leaving for the story.But once I got back, the story was marked inaccurate. I played through the game, and thought it was exactly what the submitter had posted. How can this be inaccurate? I looked over the comments, and finally saw the reason for this story being marked as inaccurate.

The game is 96kb but the submitter, in his title, said that the game was ‘only 1mb!’. This, and only this reason was why the story was labeled inaccurate. I’ll admit that there is a discrepancy in his title, but its a spelling mistake at best. Does this make the whole story inaccurate as well? I don’t think so.

The ‘Mark as inaccurate’ option on digg was made to mark stories that are deceiving, blatantly lying, or that have errors in their content. It was NOT made to mark stories inaccurate just because the poster misspells, or wrongfully describes the story. Its a shame that many stories get buried because of children who get off on seeing other people’s stories on the front page get buried. All the while their stories never make it above 10 diggs. Good luck children, make your opinion count now, because in real life, it never will.
