    digg - Digg.com members are stupid idiots that cant read!
    No worries, this has been undugg as any legitimate submission my user name makes at digg will be labeled spam.

    No need to cause unnecessary "harm" due to the ignorance of some of digg's members.

    As stated before, this would serve me good litigation practice because if I can't use a feature provided by vbseo, and monies were exchanged, then someone should be held liable; is liable.
    You can use the feature (and many people do), you just overused it; or maybe misused is a better term.

    Reminds me of the guy who tried to sue McDonald's because he got fat from eating their food 3 meals a day for however many years.

    Yes, the very same thing with cigarette companies. And what happened, the guy's who sued might have lost their cases, but it served as good litigation practice.

    Now what did McDonalds and cigarette companies learn?

    They learned to enumerate how any products they provide should be used.
    Case in point, disclaimers on cigarette packages and McDonalds' healthy menu!

    That's what is missing here.

    Thank you; I haven't laughed like that in a long time.

    You're absurd, man. Keep the jokes coming.

    Which will also be banned as you are now proving the case that you are indeed a spammer. Wow, that is great logic... I was banned for bad behavior, so I will behave even more badly to get around the ban..

    The problem is that you are clueless as to what digg is all about. It is not a place for you to mass post your threads. The vbseo feature to digg threads is not intended for you the forum owner to mass digg everything on your site. It is there for Digg users who visit your site to add it to their diggs. because it is relevant to them.

    Mass digging your own site is spam no matter how much you protest that it is not. That is the thing about the internet, bad behavior always gets called out.

    Talking

    How am I proving the case that I am indeed a spammer? By changing a screen name? I don't think so.

    All I'm proving (mind you I have screen shots to back it up) is that the subjectivity of a user is a threat to other members. Everything I did is within guidelines, I do admit it is questionable, but it is within guidelines.

    And to clear things up, I was never banned, my forum's url is banned! Big difference there. I am changing screen names because the users at Digg.com will falsely accuse me (using my old screen name) of spamming any story that I digg and that they do not like.

    I think the problem is that you are clueless as to why you are replying to me and you screwed up by stating I was banned; I was never banned! Your post is moot.

    "Bad behavior always gets called out," but keep in mind that my "bad behavior" was within guidelines.

    I hope this post clears things up.

    By the way, I have another account now and wrote something catered to the Digg.com crowd, and it has already been dugg twice!

    Word of advice here, write something political and write something that is "attacking" someone or something in some way, shape or form or else you too will be subject to Digg members labeling your posts spam without justification! Coincidentally, I linked my site in the entry that I did and received visitors as well as new sign-ups!

    That's what vbseo claims to achieve, right?

    There is no difference in having your url banned and having your screen name banned. Both equal the same thing in your case, since you are only there to spam your site all over digg.

    Since they banned your site, you have nothing else to do... So you are effectively banned, screen name and all.

    You are trying to get around the ban by changing your screen name. That is a typical spammer tactic that we see on forums everywhere.

    The fact is a ban is a ban. You are banned. I have never seen anyone get banned for good behavior.

    You can attack me all you want, you can protest to everyone that will listen, but your screenshots only prove that you are spamming them. In fact, your own statements prove that you are spamming digg.

    So far the consensus here and in digg, and I bet anywhere else you post about this, is that you have spammed digg, intentional or not. So time to take a deep breath, own up to the mistake, and move on.

    Arguing about it is like trying to teach a pig to fly. You waste your time and aggravate the pig...

    Instead of worrying about digg you need to worry more about this
    Code:
    site:www.puremarketprofits.com
    That is where traffic comes from.

    Didn't attack you, you attacked me first, only dished it out.
    Still lost?
    There is a difference, namely, the url is banned and not my account.
    Easy as that.

    And here we see an excellent example of what happened at Digg.

    The subjectivity of a user at work...oh brother...empower the masses and look at what you get.

    Ummm, as stated before, all new stories linking to my site url written under the new Digg user name, which are indirect advertising write-ups have been "dugg" numerous times. I'm doing really well by catering to the Digg mob-mentality. (Viola, here is proof: )

    But also, look at all these great "cross-links" just for posting an entry on a RAZR Cellular Telephone: ( )

    Problem "solved!" Thanks for the lifeline of traffic vbseo! Believe me, there is more where this came from, this is only from one cellular telephone entry and I could not capture all "Refbacks" with a single screen shot; there's just too many. More advice, any tech article will also do excellent at Digg and get you a steady flow of traffic to liven up your forum. Cheers! Here's to "our" success.

    You want to succeed on Digg, and get the results vbseo claims to deliver, make sure you do a good write-up that is attacking or moaning against something. Usually, a political system as this open the possibility that Digg.com members will get to curse as they comment on your write-up.

    Here's to newfound success at Digg.com! Yippie
    Eventually, my forum's url will be prevalent at Digg, their members will have no choice but to join my forum.

    Believe me, I worry about my site so much, I work on it 24/7 and lose tons of sleep over it.

    One more piece of "linking advice":

    Here is a screen shot showing all the traffic that was delivered to my site courtesy of Digg.com:




    What does this tell you?

    It shows that a majority of the traffic is coming from the United States.

    How does this pertain to you?
    The united states is a predominantly English speaking nation who also happens to be the headquarters for an international corporation called Google, Inc.

    I hope that I can stop here and you will get where I am going with this post. In short, Adsense earnings shot up thanks to digg's traffic being from the U.S.

    Cheers.
