It gets removed completely. Those 3 examples must have been identified as spam. I should add that according to this comment by Kevin Rose, Digg also has a team of moderators that clears spam and illegal content: http://digg.com/tech_news/Kevin_Rose_Admitting_Digg_Has_Moderators?t=3958578#c3958794 As I said, spam does not get a disclaimer added to it.

Here's an example: http://politics.netscape.com/story/2007/08/02/sean-penn-american-idiotplayes-right-into-hugos-hands Spam does not get a similar note added to it because it does not belong in the system in the first place (it violates the terms of use). It is therefore removed without leaving a trace. As for why 30-40 people would vote for a spam entry, your guess is as good as mine.

Why is there no remark if a particular story was considered spam? Why would 30, 40 people vote for a spam entry? This explanation is not really sufficient.
