Nickycakes,

What a story! You really make an effort showing some form of interest in Sphinn, huh?

I think that it´s really nice that you get an explanation of why you are being banned. i am sure digg won´t explain anything

I really hope this gets enough sphinns to make onto Sphinn’s greatest hits page. I doubt it will, but that would be hilarious. And I’m sure they would have to censor it to prevent that from happening. The community obsessed with no manipulation would be forced to censor this story because they would never be able to cope with it being in the greatest hits section. If this got like 90 sphinns, which would be enough to hit the front page of the greatest hits, hilarity would ensue.

This is a ridiculous story. Sphinn is tiny; you would think it would WANT new members. Some of the people who joined just to Sphinn your story initially will actually become active Sphinn members. Does Sphinn want to grow or not?

Like I said before, I really generally hate social bookmarking web2.gay style sites like digg, but I do like sphinn because of the content.

My point was, my shit got canned for a bogus reason and the mod was a dickhole in the email, even though I’ve never done anything wrong on that website.

I like sphinn, really I do.

@Ruck: Come on man. First off, it’s been done. And has a shelf life of MAYBE 3 minutes.
Also, doing that would HURT nickycakes’ angle.

I can see the points from both sides, although perhaps it’s important to examine the article quality itself, and the existance of proxy variables in what it sends to the webserver.(HTTP-VIA, HTTP-FORWARDED-FOR, etc)
