    These sites are a joke IMO. They cannot figure out how to keep from being owned, so instead they just ban sites that are often dugg.... We all know that Netscape invented this though, right?:rolleyes:

    Btw. the ban has done nothing to stop or slow down what´s been happening. There are more and more underground digg rings than ever and almost every banned member has gotten a new account anyways. Some of them have more than 5 accounts now, since the ban gave them the idea to do that.

    I think that's pretty much it. What's the point of Digg at all if users are so limited in the content they can reccomend?

    DP don't need to have any part of digg. nothing against them but it's a different crowd, more driven by what others think. i think it's good DP is banned, don't need people sending spam that direction with the DP name on it.

    Same on sitepoint. And the feeling is mutual. Tried typing and posting the word "digg" on sitepoint. It turns into a four letter word. Yes, I know it is four letters, but you know what I mean.

    I just purchased boycottdigg.com and boycottdigg.org

    Don't be afraid to speak out.

    Join us in out discussion @ http://www.ny-dev.com/forums/f97/digg-good-bad-downright-ridiculous-1354/
    , send me an e-mail @ webmaster@ny-dev.com or PM me @:

    Quote from our discussion:
    "When Danny attempted to contact Digg regarding this issue, as we are still a small site trying to expand, and one of the avenues we've selected in order to achieve this is through partnerships with sites like digg to get our content out there - he received the following (I presume automated) response from digg:

    Quote:
    When submitted stories are consistently reported as spam and users complain via our feedback email about submission spam, we ban the domain. The domain will not be unbanned. The domain would consistently get reported as spam otherwise.
