Digg say "don't talk about digg"

in the past days i've seen so many threads asking for diggs...

 

I was banned just now

 

That is sad to hear. Have you not read this thread before?

 

Really.... I guess "I TOLD YOU SO" is in order....

 

I just went searching for this thread after I got banned. I'm curious why I got banned.
Which part of the TOS would I have violated

Most probably point number 01 & 08 according to digg.

 

All I submitted was a picture. wrongbob.com/et.html

The root of that domain redirects to one of my other sites though because I dont use it anymore. It's like a test account.

1500 people dugg it so someone must have liked it

 

Yes but did you ask for people to digg for you? If you did that's why you got banned...

 

I don't see anywhere that you can't ask your friends to vote for you, that's what happens IRL too.

 

Nevertheless if that's what you did, that's why you got banned. Sorry I don't make the rules that's just the way things are.

 

Stunning pic! What happened next?

 

He got banned too

 

I am banned in Digg today. ):

 

Add me to the banned list.

 

You all sound very surprised at this ban. I don't understand why. Seems like you all were trying to take advantage of the system and got banned in the process.

Why are you all so surprised?

 

Woah, faceplant imminent!

 

A wise man once said......we tend to abuse things that we love the most.

but its hard not too right?

oh well back to the drawing board ey......

There are lots of other social network and bookmark links that you can use right?

But I heard you......digg is one of the best.

 

Okay,

I hate this, but have to accept..my digg account is banned ...
Though I had read this topic and never posted live urls ...still they did it.

Maybe I was going on digging too fast ?

So time for new a/c now !

 

you cant start a new account, ur ip is banned... I made a new account after mine was banned and a couple hours later the new account got banned.

Digg is dieing.
