    Ok,
    I tried the whole "digg.com" thing... I posted my link and wrote a small article, then came here and asked for a "digg exchange"... Now I'm banned and my article was taken down...

    Do you think it's because I posted here for an exchange? Or because they figured out for every time I "dugg" someone, they "dugg" me back?

    Just wondering... Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks!

    Keith

    Digg is getting more and more strict and are banning users for petty issues like this. Did you email them?

    I do have a question though, will they ban you if you sign up again and don't "exchange"?

    maybe someone on staff that was here checking out the digg exchange threads noticed one of the gazillion proxy sites for sale, bought one, and then banned all the exchanging IP addresses :D

    BRILLIANT marketing strategy!

    (actually, I'm not sure a proxy works there *shrug*)

    I know I stopped doing them a while back when someone in a pm ask me to digg for them and within an 24 hours I was banned. Never did digg another person from here because of that.
