Beware, Digg keeps check on ‘blind diggers’

Digg LogoYou may have encountered several error messages while browsing on different sites. These messages come due to two reasons i.e. either due to error on server side (website) or due to some violation from user’s end. Digg, the social bookmarking site, also shows some interesting messages.

These messages are displayed when the user is digging blindly or digging too many stories in a very short span of time. Following are some of the messages along with snapshot of one of them:

Whoa there cowboy! Itchy trigger finger? Digging so fast is lame. How about reading some stories instead?
