Kevin Rose Repeatedly Receives Death Threats on Digg

I am writing this to make a call for better comment moderation on Digg. There is no reason why death threats should be allowed to remain for more than 5 minutes on any given Digg front page story. Even death threats against Kevin Rose have stayed on for around an hour.

How much effort would it really cost Digg to have a few people constantly monitoring the comments on the front page to promptly remove racist tirades and death threats? Below are some examples. Note that some lasted long enough to be spidered by comment stalkers. Check out the link to the comments that managed to get less than -50.
