Submitted to Digg by SirPopper 9-18-2008

It seems that, other than an interview and story on Read Write Web about Zaibatsu getting banned, that Digg will not allow any of the stories from the banned to make it to their front page.  This story from Nowsourcing tells a pretty comprehensive picture of a major fallacy in their recent ban-spree.  It received nearly 300 diggs and 53 comments, but had no chance of hitting the front page even before it was submitted.

What DiggBoss created was not wrong and in essence was encouraged by Digg until recently.  Once they went on their attack of scripts, he tried to correct it BEFORE the banning.  He contacted Digg, made an effort, pulled it down, and STILL they banned him.  There have been some pretty shady dealings over at the number one social media site in the world over the last few months, but this one seems to be their ultimate WTF-moment.

So far.  Expect more.
