Lately i’ve been noticing a few members on digg.com using redirect urls to mask their submission from some users. The one service that is commonly used is the no-ip.info site and its really starting to get annoying.

Clicking on those stories which sound interesting due to the title, only to find an ebay auction from some spammer. I belive its time to filter these redirection sites and start implementing a system to avoid this.

Take this guy for example, notice all his submission except one, are all redirects from no-ip.info. The one that isnt like that, is the ebay link.

There are a few more like him, so this is just one example out of many. But seriously, this needs to stop.
