It would appear that a new bug hit Digg overnight causing all submissions to have no end time in reaching the front page. As you can see below, even submissions with only 1 Digg are showing in upcoming after 1 day 10 hours.

I think, it’s good feature for good digg posts.

For some reason Brent saw fit to delete my comment on his blog.It’s not unlimited, it added a few extra hours here and there. It’s also not new, started happening intermittently back on May 22nd:http://www.seorefugee.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9847

@mvandemar - I just didn’t approve the comment as it really wasn’t helpful or valid. I talked to Digg when it occured. While still speaking with them they fixed it in 10 mins time. It was absolutely a bug and the submissions where unlimited until they fixed it... sorry but you don’t know what your talking about. Did it happen in May.... yes it did.. see where i blogged about it in March... http://www.brentcsutoras.com/2008/03/28/digg-extends-the-time-limit-on-upcoming-submissions/However when that occured in March and in May it was seen as testing and a possible change more than a bug. This one was clearly a bug as even crap submissions with only 1 digg also remained in the system.

If you don’t want to approve comments that show evidence contrary to some of your claims, that’s your business Brent... it’s your blog. But what I saw, and commented on last May, had nothing whatsoever with the 10 minute extension from March, and was not testing. It was the exact same bug you just blogged about.
