QJ.net needs your help! -Updated! Unbanned from Digg!

[cyanide]

im not very hopeful of this. even the admins have sent one, and no reply.

[Jake]

Even more frustrating is that they have pre-emptively blocked other blogs, even though the domains have never been Dugg (to my knowledge). For instance, I can't remember anything from revolution.qj.net being Dugg, but yet its blocked. So are the QJ Forums.

I can't help but think that there is some sort of personal grudge going on over at Digg - what's up, Kevin? Where's the love?

[c5cha7]

I Think i am going to do some research.
I Haven't a clue what Digg is, but google is
my friend!

Is it too late to send them an email?

Didn't they just block the entire QJ.net domain? Which would automatically include the subdomains?

You would think that, but I do not believe the gadget blog is blocked (one blog is not to my knowledge).

Also, for those that have not yet sent their "hate" mail, please do so. The more the merrier!

hehe, anyway like what frozen said, try sending one email a day or something, the more emails the better.

[FrozenIpaq]

No! Only one e-mail has to be sent by each user, the more users, the better

[chaoskingz]

:P ok well i sent two, im sure it wont hurt the cause :)

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.

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!

eheh..good luck..if a few hundred thousand diggers digging at the same time cant ddos it, its pretty much stupid to even think of it ;)

[KINGOFNOOBS]

it was a joke

[mannymix03]

this is why i refuse to use digg....

[cyanide]

this is why i refuse to use digg....

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

[NeilR]

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

[TeamOverload]

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

[superballr]

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 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

[Vanden]

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.

[soopergooman]

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 ? 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.)

[TeamOverload]

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
