  • icantseeyou, on 09/09/2008, -1/+12I was banned some time ago. Not for using scripts but for posting from my blog. Note that my blog is a very general one and that every post has content that is different in some way.

    I have tried several times to get myself unbanned by promising not to post as much from my blog but the attitude I get is "so stick it". So I take my business elsewhere.
  • BeShirtHappy, on 09/09/2008, -1/+12Your two points are dead on! The bottom line is money and there is no free speech on Digg, that is unless your saying what they want to hear. Personally, I wish that it was public who buries on Digg.
  • inactive, on 09/09/2008, -0/+5lol, exactly?!?!
  • AmyVernon, on 09/09/2008, -0/+5Then how could you post this comment?
  • louiebaur, on 09/09/2008, -0/+4Priceless:-)
  • inactive, on 09/09/2008, -1/+3The guy has plenty of good points, but let's face the facts here. He's pissed he got kicked off and now he wants these tirades to make front page of Digg. He also wants to become known for being a guy who is attacking the site. Again, his articles are valid. At the same time he admits to using Digg to better his own site. So obviously he's now attacking Digg in the same light.
  • inactive, on 09/09/2008, -1/+3With all the bury brigades and bot users, it is amazing any truth gets out at all as far as free speech is concerned. Digg's model is in constant conflict with allowing free speech. The most well know free speech proponent Larry Flint shows the world about protecting the right of free speech and the constant attacks over hiding the truth. Why does anyone think that the Catholic church is not absolutely obliterated by the truth of it's own campaign of global censorship. They held back the majority of learning and scientific advancement for 400 years.
  • BXRWXR, on 09/10/2008, -0/+1Go blow it out your butthurt ass Brian Cuban.

  • BXRWXR, on 09/10/2008, -0/+1Maybe he's retarded.
  • Nathrat, on 09/10/2008, -0/+1makes sense to me, it's still beat though.
  • purplesky1000, on 09/10/2008, -0/+1maybe he meant that his blog is banned.
  • inactive, on 09/09/2008, -2/+2A rich man will sell you the rope that will hang him. Count on having a subversive truth element in most if not all social networks.
