Not cool : banned from digg?
One of my domains have been banned from digg. it gives the following error "This URL has been widely reported by users as being regularly used to spam Digg's submission process and cannot be submitted at this time." .. Its been banned for a month now. i think there were 3 to 4 submissions on digg whereas there are 200+ stories/day on my site.
Who to contact? Whats the right procedure to know what exactly is the problem?

Inappropriate?I might suggest emailing abuse@digg.com and explaining your situation. I suspect they'll either respond or direct you to the right area. -
Inappropriate?I'm assuming that you are talking about thaindian.com rather than your personal site. If so it could be this clause in digg's terms of service that got you the ban:
"to submit stories or comments linking to affiliate programs, multi-level marketing schemes, sites/blogs repurposing existing stories (source hops), or off-topic content;"
It seems (I just did a cursory search, so I'm not trying to be accusative) like a bunch of the news of your site is pulled of a newswire rather than original content from thaindian.com. This could very well get you banned from digg. -
Inappropriate?@emilychang : Thanks for the suggestion. Ill try emailing to abuse .
@Scott yes im talking about the site thaindian.com . Many stories are from Newswires and for 95% of the stories we are the first to publish them... so its definitely not a source hop.
I did have the digg widget earlier on the site, and people would submit stories to digg using it. They were not of digg's users interest so didnt get a lot of diggs. Now its purged from digg totally like i didnt exist! http://digg.com/search?s=thaindian.co...
I think it would be best to email them and see what they say.
I’m anxious
