WTF, I’m Banned From Digg Before I Could Start

What a bunch of crap…  I signed up for a Digg account while on the Top Affiliate Challenge reality show and have not done anything with the account until yesterday.  I try to Digg a post on my blog and I get this error….   “This URL has been widely reported by users as being regularly used to spam Digg’s submission process and cannot be submitted at this time.”

I sent an email to find out what was going on and this was their reply…

Thanks for taking the time to contact us at Digg.com regarding your
website.

As you know, Digg is a community-driven website – our community has
reported the domain to which you refer as spam.

From our FAQ (www.digg.com/faq):

Does Digg differentiate between spam and spamming?
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.

Because unblocking your domain would not be in line with the best
interests of the larger Digg community, we will not reverse this decision.

Thank you,
