Default Re: The hypocrisy of digg and spam

This is totally unfair.

I read in the blog comments there that Sitepoint, A known site for posting credible and helpful content was banned as well.

We got the same e-mail from digg, quoted in the article word for word.
Quote:
When submitted stories are consistently reported as spam and users complain via our feedback email about submission spam, we ban the domain. The domain will not be unbanned. The domain would consistently get reported as spam otherwise.”
-The Digg Support Team.
This can only mean that digg doesn't take the time out to investigate each case.

What about competing sites of similar content that want to bury and ban your site from digg? What happens then; a ban from a computer? No real investigation?

Digg is just out of control and power hungry. We will start an official petition discussed in another thread soon about this.

Digg is basically the Mafia - Search Engine Optimization is so important to people out there and Digg runs it. There is NOTHING anyone can do to stop this. As a matter of fact, the official petition post should be called "Digg, the Search Engine Optimization Mafia" I've never needed a lawyer little bro, but I think we can do something about this.

This really grinds my gears.
