Is Digg going to become a Ghosttown after all the Bannings?

whatdoesthissongmeantome.c… — I have said it before and I will say it again. Digg is going to become a ghost town before too long if they keep this up. The amount of blog posts about digg is growing steadily and the majority of them are not good. Is this what Digg intended when they labeled themselves a "user driven site"? Those very same users are going to drive people away

  • alapoet, on 10/12/2008, -1/+13I'm must hoping Digg management sees fit to try to engage its customers on a more productive level.
  • Nathrat, on 10/13/2008, -1/+12I just hope they were all really using scripts, because if they're just banning them from "using digg too much", that's pretty sh*tty.
    • curtisblow, on 10/13/2008, -1/+0Some weren't, but most probably were. The fact that the scripts were against the ToS was always a gray area. Once they finally came out and decided they were against the ToS they put a blog post up to let people know. Then they retroactively banned users for using the scripts which is what most people are less than excited about.
  • kellfinder, on 10/13/2008, -4/+11Nathrat: NO, they were NOT all using scripts. It is deeper than that. Check this out:

    • Nathrat, on 10/13/2008, -3/+7If they stop and think about it, they need these submitters. The hhuuuugggee majority of their users only come here to read. If there's nothing to read, then what?
