Digg is back at it banning a bunch of power users Is Digg dead?
Digg is back at it banning a bunch of power users. Basically anyone who is using any scripts including browser plugins or things like scripts or grease monkey are being targeted. It is interesting that these are mainly Digg “Power Users” who have huge success promoting stories. Right now there is a big backlash going on over this and the fact that there was no warning and other self proclaimed cheaters such as MrbabyMan were not banned.
Another school of thought is that users banned had something to do with the Sarah Palin e-mails. Is Digg bending to the law again? Digg users notoriously are Democrat and hate Republicans.
Digg has gone through some tough times: Digg being unable to sell themselves and failing to get bought again and again; constantly loosing the fight to spam; good stories just not making the front page; groups gaming the system; innacurate and fake stories; bury teams; comments disputing stories resulting in it being burried; competition from others; etc.
