Can't, got thrown off, membership yanked.
Apparently if you question liberals they get really mad and report you for abuse. (Yea, I know the exact post that caused it.)

... and if people do feel like posting comments, well-reasoned conservative arguments actually do often gain traction. Bizarrely the Digg user base is a mix of progressives and libertarians. A lot of them loudly argue in favor of the defense of freedom, and they react pretty virulently to clear hypocrisy among public figures.

If you start making blanket statements about "libtards" and "Obamabots," however, you're likely to get "buried." Not very fair considering the trash people get away with talking about conservatives over there, but that's the way it is.

What is Digg?

A gay messaging service.

Why should I care?

It can give you AIDS.

What about FreeRepublic?

We avoid AIDS.

I lived in a freshman college dorm for one year. It was all I could take. I have no desire to go back the same environment online and deal with the same obnoxious losers all over again.

I’ve been banned from Digg twice. The first account I gave up on, but with the second I sent them enough emails that they let me back on. Both of those bannings were for posting anti-BHO material. The fact that I usually put links to my site in made it slightly less defensible, but the fact it I was reported by others not because of that but because I wasn’t a BHO supporter.

The reason I fought for those accounts is because they used my domain names. If you aren’t doing that, there’s no reason not to simply get a new account if you’re banned. There are various ways to use different IP addresses if that’s an issue.

It’s unfortunate that some here don’t realize that there’s a big world out there and that voting down a rising article - as long as it’s false - and leaving a comment pointing out how it’s false can stop a meme from spreading. Instead, those people apparently think they’re somehow immune from stories that start on or are spread by Digg.

You can see comments from first account by searching site:digg.com lonewackodotcom and the second with site:digg.com 24aheaddotcom
