good but raises questions about the bans and whether a user legitimately believes their article is unique compared to the other content.

What about sites that quote an article in large part, wouldn't that be tracked and considered as very similar to the original source. For example say an innacurate article gets dugg, then an article on another site criticizing that article's inaccuracies gets dugg later on – the critical site could get flagged as being too similar – especially if it quotes parts of the original article.

This is very helpful. You pointed out more details than any other site that covered these changes.
