Digg has a reputation of sticking by its rules and terms of agreement. you could get banned for a short period of time for a small violation, or your account could be entirely banned and eliminated due to a lot of violations. Either way, Digg has shown its seriousness in maintaining a relevant social news and networking site.
This is one of the reasons why a lot of people like and respect Digg. The community does its best to fight against spammers, and give out amzing news and stories to its users. The site delivers, and Digg is still one of the best social sites there is.
Right now, however, Digg is into some deep banishment projects, and these have given cause to a lot of Digg users to shout “Unfair!”
The issue herein involves the banning of some top userse of Digg. Reportedly, and I’ve heard of two of them, there are top-ranking Diggers who was recently banned. Questions were raised from teh community as to how this could be done to top users who’ve contributed so much to the community.
Here’s one article about why one of the top users of Digg was banned:

My PR went down. I guess I should’ve see it coming, especially since I haven’t made any updates or any interesting posts for this blog for quite some time now. I wasn’t able to focus on this blog as much as I’d like to. Too many external factors. I’m not happy with my attitude towards it either. I’ve been lacking in willpower to get things done lately that a lot of stuff has stacked up for me. So now I’m cramming on my tasks with so little time available.
I mentally made a list of everything I should be doing. Even if I disregard the not so important stuff — watching the movies and series I have lined up to watch, scrapbooking, and indulging in my hobbies — I’d still have a lot on my hands. My 8-hr job offers little space for me to make time for my personal tasks, and so does my household duties (which obviously takes me away from the computer longer than Iwould want).
I am especially feeling the pressure of more precise time management as the “-ber” months roll in. These months are expected to bring me to limit of hard work and diligence, not too mention patience. Within these months are a lot of occasions — birthdays (a lot of them that will render me financially broke), Christmas, etc. — that will definitely give me some headaches and exhaustion.
I’m also putting my plan of going back to school into action. If all goes well, I’ll be back to being a student by October or November. Talk about getting myself another headache. I swear I’m becoming such a pitiful worrywart.
Hopefully, though, I’ll be able to pull through. I’ve also made many backup plans with the support of my family. But the saying “The mind is willing but the body is weak” keeps haunting me. So little time, so much to do.
