I noticed a commet or two in the chain that said 'what if small groups of "Diggers" got together and systematically banned sites they didn't like". Well, that's exactly the point, it's being done today. Digg's motto appears to have a lot in common with P.T.Barnum ... "there's a sucker born every minite and two to take him." John's example is very good, the second most popular story is their own site revamp? Wow, earth-shaking news for the world ... hang on, I might use a different WordPress template next week ... wouldn't most of the world care about that? If you're trying to build a blog, build a blog and let Digg play at whatever it is they play at. Proud to say that I am banned from Digg as well.

Aviran is the author of the "DiggThis" WordPress plugin. http://www.aviransplace.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=308&highlight=digg Perhaps if you made a post asking all your readers to email "abuse@digg.com" you could also get johnchow.com unbanned?

They intentionally banned two of my blogs. But I still cruise Digg when I'm in the mood for upcoming stories...but you've gotta wade thru a lot of crap to find the jewels. http://paulamooney.blogspot.com Those darn Diggers!

Digg is starting to get too much un-needed drama. I don’t know, I’ve stopped using digg altogether and begun using reddit. Digg is starting to get too much un-needed drama.

Surprisingly, you don't need very much to make it to their homepage and on the same note, traffic wasn't as great as a digg, but it's traffic none the less and are very appreciative of the new readers.

In fact it was quite some time for me to figure out that Netscape has something similar to Digg.
