I agree and I dugg you. . . but I think they are using these people's accounts to help them catch others. If for example MrBabyMan uses a bot, they might watch his account to watch how the bot acts and can use what they find to catch others with the same bot.It's nice to say that anyone who diggs THAT much - or who posts to THAT many walls - in a (second/minute/whatever) should be banned automatically. . . but simply changing the bot's time interval could make it impossible to detect without knowing other things about the bot. That would work well if not for the fact that bot creators can simply just not put their bots somewhere that everyone can get at them, and instead only give the bot to people who pay and/or who provide an e-mail address.But if you *know* they have a bot. . . all programs have their quirks - if some might be visible to your server and you can find them, you can block everyone else who uses the bot. The creator still can spam, yes, but he's one of the few - and you can cut out everyone else using the bot. Then they complain to the creator, and he makes a new one to not get detected - but then he probably uses it himself and it's only a matter of time until Digg finds what changed.It's not fair, but then you can turn their tools against anyone else who uses them.That's my theory anyway - maybe that's not what Digg does, but it is possible to do. And it would help block against the "shotgun" approach that spammers (at least used to) take of just creating a bunch of accounts and just using throw-away Hotmail accounts to activate them (which is probably what some people will try to do when their current account is blocked).
