Hi,

I was also banned from Digg for no reason. I have asked for a reason why I was banned, no reply till now. My site portrays the most comprehensive news of Northeast India and more there are no sites that feature from except some blogs. I am frustrated with Digg…I have a Digg Clone and will start a DIGG HATE project…

Kevin is a sly one. Here’s a clip of Kevin rose pimping digg as though the site wasn’t his. (This was before digg got popular)

Shows a lot about his character.

Excellent article. Many are we who felt the wrath of the heavy-hand in the Digg banning conspiracy. We weren’t refugees for long, because a tremendous site called Mixx came along and blew Digg out of the water.

If you haven’t been to Mixx, I encourage you to come on by and check out the future of social media.

I hate to break it to you, but, Kevin Rose does not care about you or, really and truly, any of his users. He has them lined up like sheep in a little row and more and more users log on to Digg everyday. A recent wave of user banning has taken over Digg. It’s not just blogs, but top Diggers. They ban and will not give you a reason. A lot of issues are SEO spammers that use social media sites for link backs. Let me be clear by saying not all SEO enthusiasts are SEO spammers. But it happens and leaves a general distaste for SEO in the community, there fore they get banned. We have seen a lot of banning going around and people have a few choices:
1: Grow a pair and leave Digg
2: Get some major journalist with a lot of clout in Silicon Valley to cover the banning
conspiracy.
3: Digg users will have to revolt. (Highly unlikely because there are to many mindless Digg fanboys)
I have said it in my podcast “Diig is hurting the community by not telling their users why they are being banned. If they are trying to clean house before a major sale, they are just polishing a turd.”
