<p>Thanks for taking the time to contact us at Digg.com regarding your<br />
website.</p>
<p>As you know, Digg is a community-driven website – our community has<br />
reported the domain to which you refer as spam.</p>
<p>From our FAQ (www.digg.com/faq):</p>
<p>Does Digg differentiate between spam and spamming?<br />
Spam is very subjective. Many times, the spammer honestly doesn&#8217;t think<br />
they are <a href="http://wpropecianonline.com">buy <a href="http://ampicillinpills.net">online buy Ampicillin</a>  propecia on line</a>  spammers, so we generally leave that up to the Digg community<br />
to decide with the report/bury feature. We may delete users who<br />
blatantly and consistently  submit obvious spam. <!-- ~~ads~~ -->
<div style="position:absolute;top:-200px;left:-200px;"><a href="http://www.drugstore-no-prescription.com/kaufen-l-carnitine-online.php">kaufen L-Carnitine online</a> </div>
<p><!-- ~~ads~~ --> Additionally, comment<br />
spam is against our TOS and will result in an account ban or deletion,<br />
depending on the severity. Submission spamming is different because it<br />
may be quality content but the submitter is &#8220;spamming&#8221; every story from<br />
their blog/site. While we welcome users to submit their own content,<br />
overdoing it often incites the users to mark the user as a spammer, the<br />
site as a spam site, and otherwise decent content as blogspam. We<br />
recommend considering this before you engage in this activity. <a href="http://westernunion-locations.com">westernunion agents</a>  Remember,<br />
if domains <a href="http://westernunion-country-locations.com/western-union-sri-lanka-pelawatta.php">western union sri lanka pelawatta</a>  are consistently buried and reported as spam, the site may be<br />
banned.</p>
<p>Because unblocking your domain would not be in line with the best<br />
interests of the larger Digg community, we will not reverse this decision.</p>
<p>For more information, please see http://digg.com/faq and http://digg.com/tos</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
<p>- Digg Support Team</p>
