I’m Banned From Digg

Written by Mr. Javo

The latest days I received many complaints respect my post about the importance of pinging for bloggers. I don’t know why, it is a good post, it has 4 stars of rating, 6 reviews on SU and 126 diggs.

The stumbleupon reviews are just good, are from people thanking me for this good tip, but for a reason the people from digg thinks different about it. Instead, I received bad comments reporting me as spammer . I don’t understand how this post can be a blog spam, can you explain me? I really don’t understand…

The worst is that they plus of writing bad comments, reported me as spammer and guess what? Digg banned my url!! why some people can let others be successful ? now nobody can submit my posts on digg .

Mr. Javo dot Com is banned from digg

I was checking the Digg’s FAQ and I found this:

Spam is very subjective. Many times, the spammer honestly doesn’t think they are spammers, so we generally leave that up to the Digg community to decide with the report/bury feature. We may delete users who blatantly and consistently submit obvious spam. Additionally, comment spam is against our TOS and will result in an account ban or deletion, depending on the severity. Submission spamming is different because it may be quality content but the submitter is “spamming” every story from their blog/site. While we welcome users to submit their own content, overdoing it often incites the users to mark the user as a spammer, the site as a spam site, and otherwise decent content as blogspam. We recommend considering this before you engage in this activity. Remember, if domains are consistently buried and reported as spam, the site may be banned.

Ok It’s truth that I was digging my posts, but not all them, just the bests. I guess they banned me for that, but I think they are wrong ( forget the first line of the last paragraph ). I sent them a email but I’m still waiting the reply .

Yeap! I’m banned but I think that it’s for a time, anyone knows how long this time is, or it’s forever? and just now I was being successful in digg, I think that I’ll have to use other networks…

Welcome to the club

Maybe this comic can explain why you got banned?

Hi Mr. Javo,

I feel sorry to hear that you got banned from Digg. But then, keep on coming up with informative articles.. I think you will surely make up from it..

Wow, sorry to hear that Javo. I heard a while back that Digg users frown on people who only submit their own content. Maybe that’s the reason? I still don’t agree with it though.

Maybe it’s only temporary.

Ouch, sorry to hear Mr. Javo. I got IP banned from Digg but I managed to work around that.

In all honesty, I stopped using Digg because of how annoying their ‘democratic’ system of bury-spam is.

So all you do is just find your competitors, submit them to Digg with crappy titles and wait for people to bury it. Yeepie!

You said it rightly, too many insecure, jealous people out there can’t stand for anyone but themselves to be successful. Keep providing your articles, they are appreciated

Good point Gary

There are many sites with good content that have been banned from digg. It’s unfortunate how some communities (digg isn’t the only one) will rather ban people with slightly different views than be more open.

Something similar like that happened to me - but at Mixx. I got an email telling me that they did not like spammers and that some members “reported” me as spam! I thought that was rather annoying, but screw them.
I guess it was because I submitted my own content and not enough of everyone else’s?

That is strange huh? I wonder if it is because I vote for a lot of my friends posts??

To be honest when I saw how you were digging I was surprised you hadn’t been banned yet lol.

You need to intertwine other people’s posts with your own. If all you digg are your posts, you’re a digg spammer.

I have a lot of my own blog’s posts on digg..but I also have a lot of other digg posts and votes.

Why ban people who submit their own articles while letting users of subvert and profit go scott free?

Seriously, we need a distinction between submission and digging(or voting) for your own vote!

I didn’t say you submitted consecutively. I’m just saying the variety you do have isn’t enough.

(also there are jerks out there)
