[...] As you already know Diggboss has been banned from digg. The reason was simple : he created the script. I have talked with him on IM and such and as far as I know he wasn’t using any scripts at the moment. So the sole ground for his banning was the fact that he created a script. Seems a little unfair. Here is a piece where diggboss talks a little more about the whole deal Digg Banning : Interview With Diggboss. [...]

It’s funny that all this starts happening after I spend more time in Digg ;). Great scoop though dude.

Great to see your feed count rising, I’m just getting back into blogging again as work has been crazy, re-subscribed to the feed now that I can focus on this niche again!

I say this really has nothing to do with API scripts and everything to do with the amount of digging.

Diggboss was digging at least 250 stories a day, that’s got to raise some flags for blind digging and so Digg used the TOS against him for the API calls as an excuse.

[...] Ca sa puna capac la toate, digg s-a apucat de cateva zile sa baneze useri in masa, printre care si top diggeri, membrii care obisnuiau sa petreaca foarte multe ore pe zi pe digg.com, membri care chiar contribuiau cu valoare comunitatii. Motivul? Folosirea de scripturi greasemonkey, care utilizau API-ul digg, pentru a inlesni folosirea siteului. Aparent, scripturile violau TOS-ul digg, iar multi dintre cei care le-au folosit au fost banati, inclusiv cel care a codat scripturile, diggboss, unul din cei mai cunoscuti diggeri si, nu in ultimu rand, un bun tovaras. Pentru o lista completa cu cei banati, inclusiv marele Zaibatsu si cativa romani, ca Mafihotz, click aici. Interview cu diggboss pe nowsourcing. [...]

Great interview.

Although I wish I could find good article on scripts that are under Digg’s radar. I’ve listened to a few podcasts and read a few articles and to be a ‘digg top user’ you really have to use scripts. Some take it overboard like Diggboss but they were never intentional.

Either way, good luck Diggboss on being restored to Digg and thanks Brian for covering the interview.
