Uh?
March 26, 2007 on 10:45 am | In AnnouncementMy digg account got deleted? According to digg, because of ‘misuse’. I really wonder what I did wrong. If you were to check out my profile, well, you can’t, because it’s no longer there. Um? And when I checked back about 20 minutes ago, it was still there, but then, this morning, a few hours back, it wasn’t. People, uh, what are you doing? I actually read digg’s Terms and Conditions, and I really, really can’t find anything I didn’t adhere to. Email sent, natch.
Anyway, I am putting up a new one; cocoia. Oh, I can’t use my real email, because my account isn’t really deleted (and thus, my email address not freed)? Great. I hope I see an answer soon.
Everything old is new again!

I’ve had a similar problem. It seems to have turned out that I was using proxies (including Tor, a few anonymous proxies, and my own SSH servers, I can’t browse at work without a proxy) that had abusers and my account got flagged with other people. Digg never responded to email inquiries that I sent, I don’t think they really cared much. Since then, I’ve got some kind of abbreviation of my old name that I can never remember so I’m never actually logged in when I’m viewing. That’s life.
