This bites – and the average user doesn’t have your juice to get to the people in charge to get unbanned.

Nice, professional handling of the whole issue, Scott. One more reason to LOVE having you guys host my site!

Was there a reason given?

Maybe they’ve outsourced some core functionality… to MARS.

Digg is cutting edge; the edge of deletion from my feed list.

It is not important, it is imperative to use that delete button, when any companies – like Digg – show their true brown(shirt) colors. See also; the whole “malware” fiasco, with another gestapo company – to see the nefarious trend.

Don’t drink the Koolaid. The user has the power. Without you, their service vanishes, along with their banksta-profits.

Don’t agree with their “polices”? Hit delete!

“Simon Phipps came up with a creative way to submit the story about laughingsquid.com’s Digg ban to Digg.”

Oh, VERY creative.

Digg banned my user account with no warning or explanation. They provide no means of appealing these actions. It would be easy enough to get around this ban with another account but I just don’t bother with Digg anymore.

Ok, who is asleep at the wheel over there? Your site is very diggable, in fact…one of the few that i’ll actually digg these days. You do more for them than they probably do for you. Oy.

Fascinating – I’d love to know the rationale. I’ve posted your tweet on Digg – let’s see if we can get it voted up far enough to get an answer…

Curious things happening at Digg lately. First the unwanted redirections to the Digg pages from short links, and now this…

Huh, a search reveals that there hasn’t been a digg story pointing to LS.com since May. This is odd considering some of the love you two have had for each other in the past. Very Curious.
