Gah.. I don't get it. Do people really think they gain respect by having the most posts on a forum or being a "top" Digger?

Maybe from 13 year-olds...

For starters, it removes the temptation for eager marketers to bribe top diggers for favors. Thus ends a hallmark of Digg. Ranking on the list was one motivation for Digg's passionate users.
