A Tale Of Being Bury Targeted

To start I will show my largest bit of proof of a “Bury Squad” targeting me:

Mine submitted 17 hours ago which was buried around 20 diggs:

Kotaku’s which was made popular and submitted 9 hours ago:

If that doesn’t prove it, I don’t know what does.

What’s even worse is that I hosted the video and all Kotaku did was embed Gametrailers code…

Ok now lets begin at the start of this story…

I got a whole bunch of stories to the front page on Digg for Gamebrink.Com and then it started. Everything I would submit would get buried around 20 Diggs.

So then I decided I’d start a new blog since Google hates Gamebrink and see how that goes.

So I started up Gemaga.Com and it went great. Good ranking for a lot of the posts. I got posts listed on Engadget, Kotaku, Bluesnews, Gizmodo, Joystiq, and many other big popular blogs. Hell it even got listed on MSNBC for a story! And then 4 days ago the Bury Squad decided to target Gemaga. Here are all the stories that have been buried in the last 4 days at around 20 Diggs:

Now I understand some see this as “Spam” but I only write stories I think are cool and interesting and I don’t see how any of these are even remotely close to spam.

I’ve started submitting links to other sites in a 1:1 ratio to help improve my image but I doubt that will appease the Bury Squad.

If you are part of this squad that is targeting me I’d love to talk and chat with you and promise on my soul to never reveal you to the public.

Please send me a line at jstroh@gmail.com (e-mail or googletalk) and we’ll have a chat and see how we can work things out.

I obviously write and submit stories people like as my popular record shows in the last few months so why suppress me?

Thanks For Reading This :)
