I think I know why qj.net is banned.
http://digg.com/users/ContentHoldings <-- check this out.

If you'll see properly, the account Content Holdings (actually the owner of qj.net) has mostly submitted stories on qj.net, atleast in the recent 4-5 months..
And this actually qualifies as Digg spam. I'm not sure about this, but I feel this is the main reason why we're banned.

Also Jake, is the Content Holdings account banned ? If yes, then it's pretty obvious where the problem lies.

Ya that would make sense

Cyanide, the ContentHoldings account isn't banned, I'm logged into it right now =). We have been trying to get a response from them forever and there has been no <3 from Kevin, or any of his support, according to ForeverGeek.com the same thing happened to them. Thanks all for your help, it means a ton!

yea right!
stop kidding yourself...if the qj.net admins are writing an email themselves, your arrogance comes off as being idiotic.

cyanide, are we reading the same reply? You must have read that differently than I; either way, relax.

I dont think they are going to unban it, im going to send a 2nd email though

i sent mine i owe alot to this site w/o it i wouldnt have ever learned about homebrew nor would i have even found an intrest in computers :PC: so i will do anything i can to help (besides giving money cuz im broke)

p.s. love your responce iball :Punk: u should :humped: them

hey iball have you done this yet

having digg.com thrown up on the DoD blocklist and via local Websense servers.
Do you have any idea how many people work for the DoD and use the internet? You soon will.

I think the reason is that they're Jealous of qj.net and how popular you've become. at first you were a contributer, now they prolly see you as a competitor. qj.net has exploded in size, hell remember when it was psp hacker? yeah those were the days but like everything else electronical, it was bound to get better. So that's my hypotinuse, they are just simply JEALOUS of your success.IMO!!!

L.M.A.O.

Anyways, has their been any resolution on this yet? I think maybe they may have seen this topic after receiving the many awkward "hate" mail's... I don't think that a lot of posts on this topic help the cause any, especially iBall's post from the first page... You may request that members keep it far from hate mail and more of a polite general-mass's request.

My two cents.

(I've sent my e-mail, I absolutely love this network.)

I used to love this network for news, but esspecially after the Anti-Sony fanboy news Ive been reading recently, and the old fakes, rumors, and more Im getting sick of it. No offense, but this site might deserve to be banned from digg.com

We will never be a site that panders to fanboys. We aren't going to kiss the PS3's ass. If there's bad-press and anti-PS3 sentiments, its due to Sony. We aren't making news up. The story yesterday about second-hand gaming was not originated here, we picked the story up - as did many other sites.

If you're looking for a blog that just oozes over the PS3, you're gonna have to look elsewhere. We discuss the goods and bads of all the consoles - we're not going to alter our news because it angers a few whining fanboys.

And to echo your statement, I'm getting sick of the fanboys. No offense, but they might deserve to be banned from this site.

right. we were discussing regarding the same thing yesterday. and fact is, ps3 fanboys are the worst.

I dunno why, but i never liked digg.com (i always go on it and never come off it, there always somthing there to distract my attention) so i knew it was inheritantly evil from the start, now this! (lol)

Must admit, its a good site, but i dont have to like it, -currently boycotting!

You know, when you think about it, banning QJ was a really bad idea. If you go about and attack a community, especially one that has individuals able and willing to do serious damage to a certain target's server, you are really just sticking your nose into a place that may not allow you to come away with said nose.
Seriously. Just say the word, and I'll send such a mass of crap to their server that won't go over too well for their network as a whole. Dark Angel, HDD Killer Pro.. You name it, they get it. I love QJ, frequent it every day, and am truely honored to be a part of this community. When someone does such a thing, they don't just hit you, the Admins, they hit us. All 35,000 of us. And it's just not right. I fully endorse your campaign to retrieve your status with Digg.com. But if diplomacy fails, my services are available at your request.

I did have a theory that maybe digg are also blocking QJ because they see it as a competitior. Sure, users can't submit their own stories to QJ (Well, they can submit a tip and if it's useful we'll write it), but look at the QJ network...Space...Gadgets ...gaming - It's expanding, right into digg territory.

News: Today Diggs has unbanned qj.net. =) Yeaaaaa!

seriously! Did they release any specific reason?

Nope, we just checked an boom, we were unbanned!

Good, looks like we finally cracked them!

Just be sure not to abuse our new found unbanning - we don't want to end up back on the list. ;)

I don't know why you didn't stay banned from Digg. You block URL's of rival sites, block swearing, enforce biased and unneeded rules, you are hypocryytical of piracy, the word ISO is a big no no in the PSP forums, where as in the DS forums, you can ask for help on how to run ROMS, you just aren't allowed to post links to them. If I was a Digg admin, I wouldn't want to be affiliated with you. Sorry, but the only reason I joined is because there are alot of devs here which offer some good help but apart from that I don't like many aspects of your site. And for chatting with other members you have to be really careful what you say incase a mod *cough*though police*cough* give you into trouble.

Jake cant handle it for sure. I told him how the site changed and used to mention iso programs and all he did was flame me and say i didnt have a good memory.

Well either the mods will delete this and edit any posts refering to it, or, they will try and pull me up on some stupid thing in my comment *cough* spelling mistake or some sh|t *cough* or they will completely ignore it as if I never posted it. Lets wait and see eh?

As far as I know, rival sites are blocked either because of iso/rom downloads; or hosting of iso loaders.
Swearing is blocked because this sites content is supposed to be PG-13 content AT MOST.
I don't know any ds rom related posts, but helping people out with ds roms is the same as ds homebrew, you always have to run it through a certain program, etc.

I had no part in the whole Devhook allowing part of this site, but from what I see, Devhook does much much more than plays isos. It emulates everything a 1.5 user wants, so that the user doesn't need to upgrade for any reason whatsoever.

I don't see why you're being all rebellious all of a sudden, but if you were just here to talk to devs; You wouldn't have more than 700 posts.

OK, I respect your argument. Its WRONG, but I respect it. As for blocking sites, your moderator team should be good enough to ban users who give links to ISO's, rather than just being lazy and blocking the sites URL's instead.

Next, PG-13?! Yeah right! Josey Wales starts spouting some random stuff about anal sex in the MD Party Room all the time. Thats PG-13 for sure.

Next, have you ever been in the DS Forums?! I'll give you a list of threads and posts pertaining to getting commercial ROMS to work if you want.

Next, do you seriously think that people on 1.5 pay for games?! You allowing DevHook to be downloaded from dl.qj.net is double standards, no matter what way you look at it. It is an ISO loader. It does other stuff too, but is has an ISO functionality. DOUBLE STANDARDS QJ!

Lastly, why don't you find out where most of my post count comes from. I talk in the Party Room often, BUT, I mainly talk to MaDSouL, c5cha7 and others like that. You know who they are don't you? PSP DEVS! Most of my post count comes from the PSP forums. So, to conclude on a brighter note; OWNZED!
