BTW, it's a shame that I registered an account at spikethevote and listed digitalgopher as my user name. Oh well. ;P (j/k) But in all seriousness, a friend of mine did register for spikethevote and his digg account that he listed is not currently banned. John, are you just speculating that the accounts have been banned? engtech, the site was released after the most recent visible page rank update, so it’s of course going to have a visible page rank of 0.
