Digg is f***ing up big time.

I am a pretty frequent of social news website Digg.com. However, as of recent many "Diggers" have been banned from the website. A list of the top 5000 users to be banned was posted by SocialBlade, which make users even more angry, because several of them stopped using the scripts, which were tools used to make them be able to digg more stories faster, immediately after digg had their fit about it.One conspiracy theory names their chase to value their site at 300 million as the source of the recent bannings.

DDigg Home Pageigg super-user Badwithcomputer responds the bannings:

" this makes me sadwithcomputer. i can understand why the digg team needs to be vigilant about scripts and general abuse on the site but i don't understand why the users in the community at large seem so out for blood lately to the point of leaving hateful and angry comments and just demanding bans for no good reason. "

There also has been an uprising to ban the "number 1" digger, MrBabyMan. Opponents argue that Mr Baby Man submits too many stories, and frequently re-posts stuff that other users have posted. I disagree that he should be banned for his actions, but I believe he shouldn't be resubmitting content.

My digg account is a http://digg.com/users/laaabaseball, but I dont submit that much content, because it never gets anywhere.

Digg is screwing up the love from their community. They just don't get it! DIGG: FIX THIS!
