Scifidigg.com is the latest victim of Digg’s “We are big, you are small and we can do whatever we want” attitude. First some background. After running the website Scifi2u.com for the last year we realised there was a demand for a scifi digg type website – 6 Days ago ScifiDigg.com was born and is powered by open source Pligg and the YouTube API. So what went wrong? The site went live on the 22 March 2007. People submitted stories and video links to digg and other sites del.icio.us, Yahoo, Simply and Reddit. Having a submit button makes submitting very easy and fast but that could be a problem. Let’s get to the point WITHIN 6 DAYS THE SITE HAS BEEN BANNED FROM DIGG Digg’s moderators decided that since the link pointed to my site and the posts are mainly videos from YouTube ScifiDigg should be banned from digg and no other links from scifidigg.com can be posted to digg. Digg’s response I contacted digg to find out what happened and why they blocked my site. The response I got from them was that my site violated their terms of use, by copying another site. I explained to them that although the video is streamed by YouTube we give the facility for original coments to be added. The response I got was that they do not allow sites that copy other sites to be submitted to digg. I told them that according to their rules they should also ban Yahoo news, since it does not have an original content but republish articles from PCWorld, Reuters, MACWorld and others. Also falls under this category other major sites like neowin.net, blink.nu and many more that are doing exactly the same infact they should ban YouTube because the video content is often copied from other video websites. But hey, they are big sites and digg can’t pick on them without repercussion, like they can pick on small blogs that try to establish themselves. So what have we learned? · Digg’s users don’t really determine what gets promoted, but digg’s moderators do. · Digg have a different set of rules for small site and different rules for big sites, even though both are doing the same. · Digg will ban a small site just because one of its user’s submitted an article that other digg members liked and promoted, but moderator didn’t like the link. · Digg will not listen to reason when told that the site did not violate its TOS. I am going to create a Digg.com clone http://www.BannedDigg.com Watch this space!!!

Email feedback AT digg DOT com, tell them you aren't a spammer, or a cheater, that it all must be a mistake, etc, and ask to be reinstated. I've seen this work for others, so give it a shot.
