    Not sure where WordPress’s bug tracker is so…

    When I trying to write a post, this specific post, never had a problem before. I get the following error (post content is included).

    WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘s Playground, not User-Driven Website

    As a follow up to an ea’ at line 5]
    UPDATE IGNORE wp_posts SET post_author = ‘1’, post_date = ‘2006-04-21 18:51:52’, post_date_gmt = ‘2006-04-21 18:51:52’, post_content = ‘Digg Corrupted: Editor’s Playground, not User-Driven Website

    As a follow up to an earlier post (Digg Army: Right in Line), there have been some vibrations that I think not only our readers would find interesting, but also all Digg users. To quickly summarize the earlier post, I had noticed two submissions by SpitF1re were on the front page, separated by only one story in between. Digg CORRUPTTo digress for a second, we all know that people who Digg a lot have friends who use Digg. So often times friends digg articles for each other, and often times you may see the same people digging stories, and what not. The buddy-buddy system in effect. That’s fine (in a way) – it’s a shortcoming of all social networks – the more popular people gain more influence. What really caught my eye with the situation was the sequence of diggs. On the bottom it notes who has dugg an article, and it lists them in order. Confounding as it was, the two beforementioned stories had the same sixteen people digg the story in a row. So the 7th digger of one article (Insomn1a) was the 7th digger of the other article. In fact, removing bribera’s digg of one article showed that the first nineteen diggs of each article were identical. What made this really interesting was that the 17th digger was none other than Kevin Rose, aka celebrated creator and founder of Digg. I’ve read that Digg gets anywhere from 500,000 to 800,000 readers a day. 16 (or 19) identical diggs for two articles by the same author? 22 of the first 24 diggers being being the same for both articles? Somehow I don’t think that is a coincidence. So we posted this, and some people found it interesting. Over at the fellow geeky Binary Bonsai, reader Andreas Climent noted that submitting any url from ForeverGeek was now impossible to Digg. We got banned from Digg.
