Is Digg Spamming You?

By Vlad Zablotskyy October 19, 2007

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I have been banned from Digg few months ago, however Digg for some reason decided to hold on to my e-mail address. I have received about ten e-mails to day like this one:

Another Digg user, XXXXX XXXXXX, has sent you a shout. You can read it at the following URL:

Cheers,

The Digg Teamm

If you think, even though I am banned, but still for some reason am on the list of your Digg friends please delete me. If you are by any chance connected to Digg or it’s development please help me to get my info removed from your database.

And I thought I was the only one… I have very similar experience. They tagged me as a spammer, when in fact they are. I had a great pleasure reporting them to Gmail.

They banned *a friend of mine* , too. Even though that friend had very good reason to believe that he's complying to the rules.

Several attempts to get feedback fro digg failed. No response, of course. Kind of the opposite problem. This friends account page is still up and says. This user has been banned due to misuse. He asked for re-opening or removing it altogether. Acyually I think you have a right that your data is being removed. However, no response.

As always, they act up because of nothing, but still there is so much garbage dugg.

Cheers.

Hey Vlad, I haven't been around for a while, mother in law is visiting but I'm still around.

Digg has been pi**ing me off for months. They banned my blog as well for reasons unknown. I contact them and of course never receive an answer.

Digg is a great site and an excellent marketing tool, but they seriously need to fix their algorithm or whatever it is that marks a site as “bad.”

I've never artificially inflated diggs on my site or participated in anything that would go against their guidelines, yet my blog is banned.

I don't get emails from them, but I feel your pain. Things like that just really get to me!!

Hmm, I don't even know what they have banned me, I don't believe they have ever answered my e-mail in which i questioned the fact that they have banned me.

I think I will just report their future e-mails as spam.
