my digg account is disabled and ugyen’s too

I had just started digging, I have not even dugg 20 posts and today when i tried to login i got this…

My Digg Account is Disabled

My friend’s account got banned too… on the same day! read this

I will write to digg and request my account back, i hope they enable it!!!

Other digg users whose account got banned!

Banned By Digg for Aiding and Abetting the Conservative Voice:
Last week in our PoliTech section, I took Gop3.com’s readers through the Digg.com signup process, encouraged them to list their user names in the comments so they could easily find other conservatives, and demonstrated how they could see what other conservatives were digging. Liberals predictably got upset that I was doing this. It was only meant to facilitate the spread of news and allow people to share stories they like with other like-minded people, a mission that runs parallel to Digg’s, or so I thought….
