Digg closes the door to my happiness

Ok, the title might be slightly exaggerated, but I really do feel like i cant express myself anymore - Even with this stupid blog. It all started less than 72 hours ago. I posted my blog about Saudis and their govt being extremisys blah blah blah. Everything was fine, my dad was watching the footy, my mum was in the kitchen and the annoying little kid from next door was locked in his OWN yard for once.

I decided to go ahead and put my article on digg, see if anyone likes it enough to digg me. So i go ahead submit the article and go back to watching Pulp fiction for the 23rd time in my life:

2 Hours later - I have 7 diggs, WOOOHOOO!!

Only 1 problem, i'm not popular yet. Then it came to me - i have 4 family members who know how to use the net and are currently unaware of the addicitive drug we call digg. So i take my laptop downstairs and sure enough my 2 sisters, mum and dad are sat in the living room sipping tea with their scottish shortbread biscuits. One by one, they sign up to digg, log in and digg my article. My dad actually posted a few comments and dugg a couple of other stories. Strangely, since then, he always has something interesting to talk about at dinner.

Anyway, to the point. The last thing i did on Friday night was check how many diggs my article had (11) and knock back a glass of milk before getting some kip. Sadly, that was also the last time I accessed my account before my IP was banned. I was shocked, i needed to get my morning fix before i set off for college. I logged in and was greeted by a monster disguised as a digg bot telling me to go away:





All i did was get my family to sign up and now im being punished? this isnt justice, this isnt even injustice - it just shouldn't happen. Digg this and help me get my IP back on Diggs "IP's-we-like" list. I dont know what ill do with all my spare time, God forbid i have to get an actual hobby, it could actually give me a social life and completely tear the very fabric holding me and my beloved digg together.
