[...] Digg.com for supposed script usage. Well, as it turns out, I wasn’t alone. It appears that Digg also banned over fifty more of us at the same time. None of us received any warning. No second chances. Hell, even trying to email [...]

I’ve been using scripts and OliverTaco’s automation tools on Digg and have yet to get banned. Fortunately I’ve never abused these tools or scripts, so maybe this is why I am not banned. In any case, I will cease using the Shout Page Digg Button script right away.

Proud script and automation user (heck, vendor!), got banned 10 seconds (faster than a digg page load!) after front paging a story.

The good news is, I guess, that this helped us re-direct our premium (money, boys!) section of our site towards analytics rather than automation. Which is a better competitive advantage for us, if somewhat less, well, exciting than digg p0wning automation.

This sucks, I’m not waiting for them to ban any more of my friends. I enjoy Mixx and able2know more than digg these days, so I’m done with digg.

I was banned, and I think it was by mere association. Most of the people I was mutual friends with were known script-users, so I think they just cleared the whole lot of us who had a decent popularity ratio and were all in the same friend network.

Sucks, but they’re not going to listen. I registered a new account and am trying again. If they pull this crap again, then I’m going to just give up on Digg for good.

Oddly enough, a lot of the people who were recently banned showed up as blind diggers on humanorbot.com and claimed that they weren’t using scrips.

They also ban people for expressing conservative views *WITHIN* their ToS . . . like most lefties, the only “Freedom of Speech” they support is that which echoes the leftist drivel.
