If you look at who has dugg this story, you'll notice a certain group of people:
* chrisek (also has a current frontpage story)
* aaaz
* wayjer
* johndi
* Aidenag
* tlmac59
What do all of these users have in common? They are all within Digg's top 50 users (chrisek is 55), but not only this, they also dominate the frontpage. If you look closely at chrisek's submissions, you'll notice this same group of people regularly digging them. And if you look at the submissions by each of them, you'll find this same group of people (and other top digg users), digging them as well. A small group of people literally controls Digg.
Upon submitting a detailed article to Digg about this, it has received over 200 diggs in 2 hours. Yet it won't go to the frontpage because a digg moderator has forcibly removed it (it even is flagged as frontpage in my profile). You can't search for it, you can't find it anywhere on the site except by direct link. Apparently Digg's mods don't mind users taking advantange of the system. Here is the original post itself:

And here is my article detailing how the mods have removed it:
