Seems like the changes to the front page promotion algorithm have been drastic. After scrolling through the last 48 hours worth of stories promoted to the front page I counted a total of 2 stories submitted by top 25 users on Digg. In fact one of my own submissions currently has 93 diggs and no front page.
I realize I’m hardly a top user at #34 but after the last few weeks mass deletion of accounts and now these drastic changes it looks like the Digg staff is looking to get rid of its frequent posters. Kevin or Jay care to comment?

Do DIGG editors monitor posts and bury some themselves? Ron Paul stuff gets knocked off the front page all the time.
I remember the top users list being taken away. I ended up moving to reddit where I still am today.
