Wow thats quite interesting, I was surprised that some of those were on the banned list. I suppose its because people are constantly digging them.. But i kinda thought that was the idea..

 

Great list. Do you know if they are still banned?

 

Thats interesting, probably because some illegal diggs.

 

even stumble upon bans several big sites not big issue

try to stumble DP

 

No, it is not that people are digging articles from their sites but most of the articles in some of the sites are useless and don't provide any real value. Also, I don't know about the entire list but I know certain make money site from the list was engaged in dubious practices to gain more digg. Good that they are banned.

 

just because of some persons use that site for spaming activities

 

A while back I submitted about four articles in one day and I got a warning message that I would be banned for spamming if I did it again.

 

Dp forum is banned by digg, well, I didn't know that before.

 

Thats interesting I knew a few famous ones that were banned but never thought that DP was banned as well.

 

it only means that..the person behind this social bookmarking sites still checking entries there...
interesting...they dont mind whether its a well established one or not..

 

lol. DP is also in lost

 

No wonder. You can even add Wordpress into the list. The reason for Bans is simple. Users spammed hte hell out of Digg with these sites

 

I really question the value of Digg. They must be really stupid to ban those popular sites with valuable information for readers.

 

Thats interesting Paul Stamatiou stands out in particular

 

How do you find out if certain sites are banned from Digg?

 

Geezzz...I have yet to digg my articles, whats the effect of digg anyway?

 

interesting. i dont get it why John Chow would get banned

 

I wonder if enough people reported sites like google, CNN, Yahoo, FoxNews, Youtube,, if digg would ban them also? Or does digg only ban the smaller, privately owned sites?

Here is something to try, submit a bunch of youtube videos as spam on digg - and see if digg bans youtube. Now that would be funny.

 

they ban u from posting but let u login so that they can earn for adverisers.Wonder if digg will ban sites like google and yahoo,lol!
