ReDugg

After a morning of going back and forth with support on the alleged offenses, I have been ReDugg! Thank God. I really didn’t want to use netscape.com because the site is not very user-friendly. So I am back on digg.com, and I made sure to let support know that Terms of Use had been abused by three other posters. Hopefully they took care of that this afternoon. 

UnDugg: Say It Isn’t So, Digg!

Well, for some reason (as of this writing it has not been explained to me), my digg.com account has been locked down. Apparently, some wuss who can’t take a joke sent an abuse email into digg.

The alleged abuse has yet to be explained to me. Wow. I can’t believe this. Every discussion in the Politics category has the same type of content that could be considered abusive. What constitutes an alleged abuse? Is it that I called Muslims Mooselimbs? Or was it that I called Islam a Religion of Pieces not a Religion of Peace? Is it a crime to call a spade a spade?

I can see users digging me down or blocking me if they do not like a take on a certain topic. I could even understan digg sending me a warning email and explaining the alleged abuse. But what I will not take lying down is some user — some COWARD — sending an alleged abuse email to digg and my account gets locked immediately. Unbelievable.

My first step is to request an explanation, which I feel is deserved to any user who gets locked out. After that, I plan to link this blog to Netscape.com’s new digg-like site, and get the Netscape users to voice their opinion on alleged abuses, and termination of accounts by digg. The third step will most likely be contacting my lawyer to find out if what they did is illegal without my consent (since they still have all of my personal information and data in their database).

So how about it, Netscape users? Doesn’t this seem extreme for digg.com? What is Netscape’s policy on abuse? Could your account be locked out without a warning?

How to Make Firefox for Mac More Mac-like

Who doesn’t love Firefox? I’ll tell you who, Mac users. While Firefox has always been great on Windows and Linux, it seems that the Mac version of the browser has always lagged behind in terms of performance and visual appeal. Luckily thanks to some third-party developers, Firefox can easily be tweaked to fit in with the operating system.
