Watch Out on Digg!

Yep, that’s right! You better watch out on Digg. Well actually you don’t have to watch out since its only for the people who use scripts to digg stuff. Unless you are one of them!
Okay so here’s the deal. Digg officials have been hunting people who use scripts. And do you know what they’re doing after they find an “evil” digger? They ban him/her. Now that sucks donkey ass. You worked hard to get all those submissions popular, got good loyal friends, got the spotlight on yourself, and other bla blah. But, too bad it all just goes away.
Now are you wondering how they’ll find out who’s using scripts or not? Well I’m pretty sure that the officials get alerted when a particular digger is digging, shouting and deleting shouts at a rate that humans possibly couldn’t do. For example, digging all the stories on the front page within less than a second.
Oh and if you can’t login to your account, and you’re sure the password is correct then you’re probably banned. And I don’t think they’ll ever unban you. But, I do know a digger who managed to get himself unbanned. Hold on! He was a power digger. So, don’t get your hopes up. They couldn’t care less about unbanning a digger that isn’t any good to Digg.
So, you better stop using your little toys (or at least keep a low profile by doing things at a more… humanly rate). And post a comment if you got banned, know anyone who got banned and the reason behind getting banned. Plus if you support this or if you’re pissed off about this.

Scripts on all different websites annoy me! It destroys the quality of websites like Digg. Back when digg started out in 2006, it was filled with tons of quality content…now, well, it’s just crap almost all the time. And the fairness of article digging has decreased tremendously, too.

@Lasha: There is a bit quality content on Digg. But, most of them come from the same old sites. Like there isn’t a variety of quality content. In other words, there isn’t a lot of fairness like you mentioned.
Most of the time its just funny images and pictures on Digg. I wonder how every single Cracked post hits the Digg front page. Some of them are incredibly boring.
