Chris over at Performancing (yep this is one of the blogs that made it through the first round of cuts) Has a good article on Digg

In the end he basically says that maybe all of the sites that are getting banned may not be getting on the bad side of the digg community because that they are SEO/Webmaster/Ecommerce/Blog related, but because all the community knows of these users is that they keep submitting sites from so or so domain, and then never contributing to the discussion of other submissions.

I have a theory that at least some of those banned domains and the users who submitted them were unknown to the Digg community at large outside of the Digg submissions.  Nobody likes people who take take take without giving back. Just an idea.

This really does make sense.  If you had a forum and there were these users that would simply visit the forum simply to start threads about this great offer, or this site that you just have to visit you would ban them wouldn’t you.  Isn’t that all the Digg community is doing?  Just getting rid of the people that are simply submitting sites and not contributing.

That said I do think that the Administration should answer people’s questions on why they may have been banned.  Especially in some of the cases where the owner of the site didn’t know anything of digging of their articles.  Maybe their articles and tools are JUST that GOOD.

So Digg, get out there and get your PR machine going.  Tell the webmasters what is going on, they are the ones that are giving you the content for your site after all, and if they are spamming your site then ban them, but just be sure that you are not getting to big for your briches.
