Block Shouter – why not just remove them from your friend list if you’re not interested in what they have to say? If they’ve made it mutual, they’ll become your fan and you can still communicate with them. Digg doesn’t bother to let anyone know when they’ve been dropped…

Shout at Fans is already implemented – if you only allow shouts from your friends, your fans can’t shout at you. But since you’re their friend, you can shout at them.

If Digg would put shout information into their API third party developers could implement most of what you’ve suggested.

These are good features – and Digg will never implement any of them because, as near as I can tell, they aren’t “into” implementing UI improvements.

However, there is an API and there are outside companies (cough, cough) who build greasemonkey scripts and social analysis and automation tools to help people use digg more efficiently.

I think the best way to get about this is to be able to shout to everyone (that’s a cool feature), but limit it to 1 shout to everyone a week. And make it so that we can shout just messages to everyone – 1 a week of course, currently you can only shout to everyone if you’re sending them something to Digg – and that basically means digg is promoting spamming of digg pages.

If they make it so its 1 shout a week (to everyone), there will be less spam and people will use it much more stringently.
