I do think the people working for Digg need to look more closely at the reasons they may want to “Ban” a person than what they are these days…

I was banned by Digg 2 days ago. They totally suck and at least it is not worth to build some link juice with them because its no-follow. If I were a hacker, I would have crash their entire database and to ruin their life and business because of banning me. But I can’t do that to them, because I admire their hard work of building their website for business.

Life is life. Time to move on! If someone can dominate Digg’s rank or to create an anti-Digg site, I would be happy for it.

It sucks that you spent so much time with Digg, only to get banned by a series of stupid mistakes. Hopefully you will have a much better experience over at Mixx.

I heard cGt2099′s story after my account, IP and my site were all banned. I tried to figure out why using Google, since Digg simply told me I violated their terms. Now I’ve fallen in love with Delicious, a better site to manage my internet bookmarks.

There is a Firefox extension that allows you to shout only to users who have not DUGG a story. This is a great tool for users of DIGG because, after all, DIGG is a community where you will have a lot of “friends”.

Using their SHOUT system I will get the same shout from 10 different people. Because we are share the same likes and happen to have common friends. So this is annoying to get 10 emails for the same DIGG.

Since DIGG is too lazy to add a feature that will not shout to someone who has already DUGG (Honestly how much FUC&ing “SERVER LOAD” can this be?), a clever person created the Firefox extension that does just this.

I created a post about it and had 200+ diggs before I got banned. Now, almost all the users who Dugg my article have been banned as well.

I am thinking of starting a F!@# DIGG campaign. I mean, what punks. Ah my email from Digg just came in, if you have read their TOS is is VERY VAGUE (Please explain to me how this hurts your SERVER LOAD!!!)

“Hi from Digg.com,

Your account was reported to us as being in violation of our Terms of Service (http://digg.com/tos) by promoting scripts that are in clear violation of Digg’s Terms Of Service. We must be vigilant in protecting against activities that compromise the Digg community, this decision is final and irreversible.

Thank you,

This was a digger that said what he think and that’s what made him very popular. It’s a game, be liked by the community, but without going too far. I think this is a great loss for digg, as he will end up somewhere else, working “against” them.
